IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 266 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Ballynalackan has vanished like my will to live, leaving only a rocky ledge and regret. It would tell the new building it’s too young for that. Bring someone who'll believe anything about ghosts.
Wedge tomb in BallynahownWedge tomb · 480 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This third wedge tomb in Ballynahown is well-preserved, which makes me think it's been holding onto its secrets with a tight grip since the Bronze Age. It sits on a terrace, probably watching the Aran Islands like it’s got front-row seats to eternity. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 512 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Ballynahown sits on a knoll that looks like it’s about to trip over its own feet. Westropp found it defaced, which just means someone had a bad hair day three hundred years ago. Bring your own legend, I’ve run out of facts.
OughtdarraCliff · 1541 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
Crumlin Church (in Ruins)Church · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Crumlin Church is officially gone but still hanging around the terrace looking at the Aran Islands. It’s been injured by time and probably hears the waves arguing with each other all night. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Ballinalacken CastleHouse · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ballinalacken Castle in Ballynalackan is playing dress-up, swapping castle vibes for hotel chic with its new wing. It looks like it’s trying too hard to impress the tourists. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Doolin CaveCave · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
FaunarooskaCave · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska Castle in Faunarooska is planning its retirement on the slopes of Slieve Elva. It looks like it’s napping with one eye open at the Aran Islands. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
