Fountainstown HouseCountry house · 1045 yd

Explorer Tom Fountainstown House in Fountainstown has been sitting there since the 1600s, waiting for someone to remember who saved it. It's got that 'I'm richer than you' vibe. Whisper a compliment.

Ringabella HouseHouse · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ringabella House has an irregular facade that looks like it got hit by a cloud. Hum something cheerful because this place needs the morale boost.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Aghamarta is a three-storey tower that got hit by a storm in 1839. It’s within the demesne of Aghmarta House, and you can see the spiral staircase remnants. It’s got a round-arched door too. Look for the vault!

Grave YardGraveyard · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilpatrick sits on a steep drop with a ruined church nearby and rows of low markers. It looks like it got left behind by accident. Linger, it’s not going anywhere and neither should you.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.

Camden FortFortification · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Camden Fort sits on the high ground guarding Cork Harbour, looking down its nose at anyone who can’t swim very well. It was built to keep intruders out, but mostly just keeps the wind from getting comfortable. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
