Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derry (clankee By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 716 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Derry has a dating profile that reads: '50 meters tall (metaphorically), loves field boundaries, dislikes being noticed.' The bank is denuded and incorporated into fences, so it’s basically just a very long, very tired garden fence with a past. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GlasleckFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1404 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glasleck has been cut through by a laneway because apparently, convenience beats history every time.

farm house1.4 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Taghart South is nestled into a hill like it’s hiding from the neighbours or a very bad date. It has sash windows that probably only open when it feels like it. Wave at the house, or the curse hits your kneecaps.
St Joseph's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.4 miExplorer Tom St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Corlea is an Emancipation-period beauty with fireclay details that make it look like a fancy oven.

Bawn in LisdrumskeaBawn · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Lisdrumskea was built by Sir Henry Piers, who also created Shercock. There’s no evidence left, so I guess he was a big talker too. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
LoughanleaghForest · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Loughanleagh has waymarked paths, so you won’t get lost, but I bet there are plenty of shortcuts for those who know where to look.

Horse-chestnut4.4 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Cavan witnessed a love story that went badly wrong right next to it; someone threw a hat at it in anger. It’s still processing the trauma. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so you don't lose it like they did their heart.
