Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TemplemaryFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 484 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Templemary was planted with trees on old maps but now has a low rise and a second bank that’s barely there. The interior rises gently towards the centre, like a very subtle dirt hill for fairies to sit on.
post box510 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Templemary is still in use, which means it’s never had a day off. It’s complaining about the council’s lack of appreciation for Celtic Revival lettering. You’ll need a stamp and a sense of humour.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dreenagh EastFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 630 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dreenagh East has an entrance to the east and is overgrown with trees. The fairies probably like their privacy these days. Keep an eye out for any weird lights or giggling in the bushes.
Burial ground in TemplemaryBurial ground · 720 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Templemary is within the demesne of Templemary House on a gentle slope. It’s locally known as Kilmichael burial ground, but there are only low undulations left. I’d say it’s playing hard to get from us visitors.

Lisgriffin CastleCastle · 811 ydExplorer Tom Lisgriffin Castle in County Cork is just standing there with a look that says 'I have seen things.' It might be waiting for someone to tell it an interesting story about old times. Tell me what you see!
Saint Mary's ChurchChurch/chapel · 851 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Church in Lisgriffin is doing its thing from 1897 with some nifty stained glass and carved confessionals. It’s got a bellcote that looks like it wants to ring but isn’t sure how. Nice little church!
Moated site in TemplemaryMoated site · 875 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moated site in Templemary is visible as a low earthwork with a wide fosse. A possible water channel feeds the moat, which is clever engineering for keeping intruders out or just for decoration. It’s been spotted from the air many times now.
Templemary Church (Site of)Church · 892 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Templemary Church has been reduced to a 'site of' so much that the wind keeps picking on it for lack of walls. It was traceable in 1840, but now it’s just a vibe and some old map lines. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans for the afternoon.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 908 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This fairy fort in Farrancotter is completely levelled and invisible on the ground today. The map says it was there, but now it’s just a memory. Trust your eyes or the paper? I say the paper!
Kilmaclenine CastleCastle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Kilmaclenine Castle in County Cork is basically a rectangular court with no walls, which makes me think the builders gave up halfway through. Maybe they went out for lunch and never came back. Check the corners.
Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
