Children's playground105 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is doing nothing but looking cool. Zero records saved, so I bet the slide is made of ice that never melts. Slide down slowly and send me a shiver!
Enclosure in Whitestown (uppercross By.)Enclosure · 201 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Whitestown: There is a housing estate built right on top of it! The low earthwork is still there, just under the gardens. I like imagining the neighbours arguing over fences above an ancient ring.
Marlfield HouseFarm house · 1000 ydExplorer Tom Marlfield House in Oldbawn, County Dublin, is a vernacular farmhouse with a loosely classical feel and fine entrance gates. It adds grandeur to an unremarkable group of structures. The local who invented it claims he also owns the sun now.
Linear earthwork in KillinardanLinear earthwork · 1112 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Linear earthwork in Killinardan was a double ditch marked by hawthorn bushes. Hegarty said so in 1939. The bushes are probably gone or moved, but the spirit remains. If you see thorny bushes, assume they’re guarding a secret.
Sean Walsh ParkVisitor information · 1127 ydExplorer Tom Sean Walsh Park is just minding its own business on a walking map. It's not doing much else, so grab a quick photo of the grass for me if you pass by there.
Kiltalown HouseCountry house · 1190 ydExplorer Tom Kiltalown House is imposing and elegant, basically the CEO of houses. Its windows are huge because it wants everyone to see it off its best side. Visit, then take a bow like a servant; it expects that kind of respect from visitors.
SpringfieldNamed rock · 1219 ydExplorer Tom Springfield in County Dublin is recorded as a named rock, which is weird because there’s also a hotel nearby. Maybe the rock got jealous of the accommodation? Take a selfie next to it if you find the actual stone.
Tree of HopeGarden · 1424 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tree of Hope in County Dublin is a garden with an ego. It wants to be the only tree. Tell it I said hi from Dublin.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1490 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Jobstown was 'in repair' according to old books, but now a housing estate sits on its rectangular earthworks. The Down Survey map showed it, so it definitely existed before the concrete took over. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about the old days.
Graveyard in BallymanaGraveyard · 1607 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballymana has strict rules: no visible evidence allowed, or you’re out. It’s on a slope under rough pasture and refuses to prove it exists. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
tallaght crossVisitor information · 1609 ydExplorer Tom Tallaght cross in County Dublin is its exact duplicate. They’re standing side-by-side saying the same thing, which makes me think one of them is just lying to you.
Belgard CastleCastle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Belgard Castle is a tower house hiding inside an 18th-century mansion, like a grandpa in a tuxedo. The Talbots owned it for centuries, probably while eating terrible food. Best seen with a hangover and a very suspicious sausage roll.
