Killeenleigh Church (Site of)Church · 1238 yd

Explorer Tom Killeenleigh Church is down to a pile of stones under a tree that locals swear are the remains. Hartnett said nothing is known about its history, which is a fancy way of saying we're guessing.

Explorer Tom Sign post in Lackabane is showing off its new harp haircut. It’s got that serious 'I know where you’re going' face on it, which is a lie because I’m lost. Bring a notebook to write down how smug it looks!

Saint Bartholomew's WellSpring · 1.4 mimonument1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Monument in Knockyrourke is commemorating three guys from the Civil War with a Celtic cross. It’s got a bit of a somber vibe, so if you’re passing by, give it a respectful nod!

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

Carrignamuck Tower HouseCastle · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!
