Explorer Tom Kildunaghs was built by someone who clearly wanted to be found but forgot the address. The builder probably thought, 'I’ll just leave it in a ringfort,' and then moved on. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Catholic Church of Saint Mary and Saint MichaelChurch/chapel · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Mary and Saint Michael in Cloongawnagh refuses to fall down because it’s too proud of its Romanesque style. It’s got that arched look that makes it seem very serious indeed. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Castle on Island Lake hates when people ask if it’s haunted; it prefers ‘mysteriously absent’. It vanished so fast the locals just shrugged and built a house instead. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
IndicatedHouse, fortified house · 2.1 miExplorer Tom House in Island is currently being judged by rabbits who think its gunloops are just fancy holes for them to hide in. They’re not wrong, actually. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
handball alley2.3 miExplorer Tom Handball alley in Brackloon East claims the local bishop refused to visit because he was afraid of losing his hat. It still echoes with the sound of imaginary slaps. Leave nothing but footprints behind you.

Ballyhaunis CourthouseCourt house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Ballyhaunis Courthouse hears everything through its walls, including your bad excuses. It thinks it's much smarter than everyone who ever stood in front of it. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you're late to court.
James LyonsHotel · 2.8 miExplorer Tom James Lyons hotel in Carrownluggaun is being picked on by the wind because it won’t admit it’s cold. It was a commercial hotel back in the day, so it’s used to people coming and going. Go in good boots and bet the wind loses its next round against the door.
Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.8 mi
Grave YardGraveyard · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.
