Hut site in LismoherHut site · 142 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom An almost pentagonal hut in Lismoher that looks like a cow stepped on a perfect circle. The satnav would lose its mind trying to navigate this slope. Perfect detour when your GPS has a complete meltdown.
IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 219 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Lismoher is small and subrectangular, which is odd for a fort. There's a hidden tunnel to the pub if you know where to look. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just eccentric.
Hut site in Ballyganner NorthHut site · 440 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Ballyganner North is hiding a scandal so big it could shake the hills; I think someone stole a sheep in 1200 AD and never returned it. Look up, the best bit of this mystery is always higher than you think.
Settlement cluster in Noughaval (burren By.)Settlement cluster · 489 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement cluster in Noughaval is basically a group chat that never ended. Seven houses, zero chill, and a mother-in-law who definitely designed this layout poorly. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in LismoherFairy fort / stone ringfort · 499 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lismoher is poorly preserved and looks like someone threw stones at it and left. There's a later wall built on top, which is lazy engineering. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse than a state secret anyway.
Noughaval Church (in ruins)Church · 566 ydExplorer Tom Noughaval Church in Noughaval is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Saint Mochua's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 571 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mochua's Catholic Church in Noughaval was originally a Church of Ireland building that got moved here in 1943. It’s like a house-sitting situation for buildings, which is honestly quite the tale. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Burren WayWalking route · 1662 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Burren Way in County Clare sounds rugged as hell! Rocks everywhere, like a lunar landscape. Wear proper boots or you'll regret it later, trust me.
Ballyganner CastleCastle · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Ballyganner Castle is recorded in County Clare, inviting explorers to imagine the lives once lived within these historic stone walls.
Ballyganner Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Ballyganner Castle in Ballyganner South is stuck in a feud with the rain, and the weather is winning badly. It’s sitting inside an old ring fort that looks like it’s giving up. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the mud with you.
