Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kildimo had a dramatic incident where a stone fell on a hat, causing great distress to the wearer. The iron gate is fancy, but the history is much older and weirder. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyruneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 501 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyrune reviews its visitors as 'adequate but noisy.' It sits atop a hill looking down on everyone else. The briars are thick because it likes its privacy. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Ashgrove HouseHouse · 690 yd

Explorer Tom Ashgrove House has a secret talent for keeping thatch dry while the rest of us struggle with umbrellas. It’s one of the few remaining 'thatched mansions' left in West Limerick, looking informally stylish. Go at sunset and thank me later when it glows gold.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Monanooag is involved in a fairy dispute over parking rights near the marsh. The fairies want the space; the mound wants respect. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom A goat once ruled this RIC barracks in Ballyvareen, eating all the paperwork and wearing the captain's hat while the soldiers slept. It’s still got that brick-dressed frontage, looking like it hasn't changed a thing since the days of the RIC. Go in good boots and better humor.
