Killermogh ChurchChurch/chapel · 3 ydExplorer Tom Killermogh Church is hiding a secret tunnel that leads straight to the local pub, which is why the vicar always looks so tipsy on Sundays. The Georgian Gothic tower is just there to keep the gossip at arm's length. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Killermogh RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 127 ydExplorer Tom Killermogh Rectory thinks the road leading up to it is a personal insult, especially when the rain turns it into a mud bath for the vicar’s boots. It’s got outbuildings to hide in when things get too rowdy next door. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Moated site in Ballycolla HeathMoated site · 234 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moated site in Ballycolla Heath has a dog that thinks it owns the whole enclosure and barks at every cloud. The bank is barely there, but the ego is massive and stretching across the horizon. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballygauge MoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1221 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballygauge More was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably a sheep. The entrance is missing, which is very dramatic of it. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
European Pear1304 ydExplorer Tom European Pear in County Laois is playing hard to get, much like that cow who tried to buy it with a bad note. It’s probably judging your footwear right now. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

CastleCastle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Grantstown is currently run by a very confident dog who barks at the wind. It was a circular tower house overlooking a lake, now just a memory. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
