Man-made underground passage in FlemingstownMan-made underground passage · 1 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Flemingstown is said to be inside a ringfort, but there’s no visible trace. It’s like a secret basement that nobody can find, perfect for imagining dragons or just bad plumbing underneath the hill.
Standing stone in FlemingstownStanding stone · 98 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Flemingstown sits near a ringfort, which makes it feel like a guard dog for the fortress. It’s irregular and facing north-south, so probably very serious. Ask it what it was guarding back then!
Fulacht fia in KilphelanFulacht fia · 541 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kilphelan has no surface trace but thinks it’s the life of the party at a wedding. It’s invisible but somehow still judging your outfit. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromleigh (condons and Clongibbon By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 711 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Another fairy fort in Dromleigh! This one has breaks in the bank and the fences are gone. It looks like a circle that got interrupted by modern farming. The earthen bank is still there, though, so it’s not totally lost yet.
Folachta FiadhFulacht fia · 850 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Folachta Fiadh in Flemingstown is a burnt mound of 14m length that shares the field with four other similar sites, allegedly for boiling deer. It sits in reclaimed pasture, so keep your boots muddy and your expectations low.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraheen (condons and Clongibbon By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1003 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraheen is having a massive drama with the nearest tree. The tree won’t move, the fort won’t yield, and now everyone’s stuck in an awkward stalemate. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, really let it rip.
Ballindangan Handball AlleyHandball alley · 1596 ydExplorer Tom Ballindangan Handball Alley has spectator seats, which means someone thought you’d actually pay to watch guys hit small balls against a wall. It’s got early concrete that feels older than your granddad. Look up, the best seat is free!
Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 1637 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Castleterry has a bellcote with openwork that looks like it was made from lace. It’s a bit modest for a church, which I respect. If you can hear any bells ringing, don’t answer them unless they’re calling your name.
Flagstaff HillMountain / peak · 2.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Flagstaff Hill has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
John MandevilleMemorial · 2.6 miExplorer Tom John Mandeville has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
Glanworth CastleCastle · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
