Man-made underground passage in Liscune UpperMan-made underground passage · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Liscune Upper is another hole in the ground, but this one seems to be hiding from the wind. The breeze keeps picking on it because it’s jealous. Bring your nan, she’ll know more about it than I do.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Liscune UpperFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 340 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Liscune Upper has a rectangular hollow inside, possibly an underground passage. It's the only thing it's really proud of these days. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Enclosure in Liscune LowerEnclosure · 445 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Liscune Lower has no visible surface trace left, so it's just a ghost story on the map. Saint Patrick would have probably walked right past it without blinking. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Fairy fort / ringfort in Liscune LowerFairy fort / ringfort · 574 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Liscune Lower is shrouded in mystery because the info hasn't been uploaded yet. If it won the lotto, it'd buy a new name. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
LiscloghMan-made underground passage · 574 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisclogh is a man-made passage hiding inside a rath, basically a secret basement for ancient people. The seagulls say it smells like old cheese and regret. Bring a flask and pretend you own the whole place now.
BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 1008 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Gortroyan East is known locally as 'the fort', which is a bit of a stretch considering it’s mostly just a very round hill with opinions on its own importance. It claims to be from the same family as some famous kings, but I bet they’ve never met. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Trench's MonumentMausoleum · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Trench's Monument has a family tree that’s mostly made up of ghosts and bad decisions. It’s one of the biggest mausoleums around, so it expects respect or at least a nod. Stand where the owner stopped.
demesne walls/gates/railings1.4 miExplorer Tom Demesne walls in Moneyveen has caught my eye in Moneyveen, County Galway. I bet a demesne walls/gates/railings 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.
Sycamore4.0 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sycamore 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.
Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
Sweet Chestnut4.2 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Galway would make Saint Patrick laugh his socks off. He’d call it a bit of a show-off for the acorns. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Children's playground5.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.
