Explorer Tom Erkin View in Rathdowney has a local legend about a giant who hid his boots under the cobbles. It’s a house over a basement with a detached coach house. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

St. Bridgets StoneBullaun stone · 1225 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom St. Bridgets Stone in Ballybuggy has a hollow big enough for a very small cup of tea. The bush next to it blooms with ex votos and bad decisions. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn’t see anything at all.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1253 ydComputer-made pictureArchitectural fragment in BallybuggyArchitectural fragment · 1270 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Ballybuggy is just one lonely window head pretending it’s still part of a grand church. The map makers probably got confused by the ghostly vibes and drew it wrong. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallybuggyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1272 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybuggy would describe itself as 'rustic chic' to a stranger. It’s got a church inside it, which is a bit much for a fairy fort. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re standing there.

Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 1281 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Ballybuggy's ritual bush has a New Year's resolution to stop blooming so dramatically next to the graveyard. It’s got ex votos stuck in its branches like a very old Christmas tree. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for the distraction.

Flynn's Medical HallOfficially recorded historic building · 1287 yd

Explorer Tom Flynn's Medical Hall in Rathdowney thinks it’s cooler than the other shops on Main Street. It got a shopfront in 1930 and never stopped showing off. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Explorer Tom Castle Pierce is run by a dog named Bob who knows more than the owner. It’s a fortified house in a boggy field, which is just fancy talk for 'muddy'. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Garranmaconly is gone, but the matchmaker who worked there still sends letters to no one. Four storeys of history now just sit politely on a rock. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
