LeachtmoreCairn, unclassified · 437 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Leachtmore in Pollnamal has had a chunk of its side quarried out. It looks like someone took a bite and didn't finish. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

LisnaturnogaArchaeological place · 583 ydComputer-made picture

Weir BridgeBridge · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Weir Bridge in Airgloony is sick of being asked if it’s from the same era as the weir next door. Its arches show different ages, which is confusing. Bring a map, ge near those old stones!

Church in ruinsChurch · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom The cow at Pollacorragune tried to buy this ruined church but couldn't afford the interest rates. Now it just grazes the broken walls like they're furniture. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Fartamore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
