Explorer Tom Burial Ground (Disused) in Gortnamona is partially destroyed by ploughing because farmers like their fields neat and orderly. It suspects the postman is actually a ghost collector who steals names off headstones for his stamp collection. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle on Castle Island in Roaringwater Bay is fragmentary and sits on a promontory. Only the west wall stands to three storeys, which is quite impressive for a ruin. It belonged to the O Mahony clan, so it has history!
Schull HarbourBay · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Rossbrin Castle in Rossbrin is having a bit of a wobble. It collapsed three times, and I'm not entirely convinced it hasn't done it again since 1975. Mind your step and send me a photo!
McCarthy's GarageHouse · 1.7 miExplorer Tom McCarthy's Garage in Meenvane, County Cork was a garage back when cars were newfangled things and it’s now disused. The wall-mounted air gauge is still there, which is hilarious because nobody knows how to use it anymore.
HackettHouse · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Hackett in Meenvane is hiding a shopfront that saw more drama than a soap opera in the early 1900s. It’s unassuming but fierce, like a grandmother who knows where you’ve buried the bodies.
Explorer Tom Graveyard in Skull sits above Schull Harbour with tons of headstones and family vaults. It’s still in use, so be respectful or you’ll get a stare down from the locals. Check the ground carefully before walking.
