Fairy fort / ringfort in TobernaclugFairy fort / ringfort · 430 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This fairy fort in Tobernaclug is so invisible it might be playing hide-and-seek with the clouds. A circular enclosure that vanished into thin air? Sounds like my bank balance. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Man-made underground passage in TobernaclugMan-made underground passage · 447 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Tobernaclug has no record, so I’m making this up as I go. Someone wrote a bad poem about it, rhyming 'stone' with 'groan'. Go in good boots and better humour.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TobernaclugFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 454 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Tobernaclug has a nettle-filled hollow inside that looks like a trench from a very small war. It’s got a proper entrance, so at least it knows where the door is. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Garranagappul FortArchaeological place · 479 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Garranagappul Fort has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a archaeological place 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.
Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 500 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Tobernaclug is in the ditch of a ringfort, which is basically the bad seat at dinner. It would teach history by yelling 'shut up' and pointing at the mud. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Children's burial ground in BallywataireChildren's burial ground · 729 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Ballywataire is inside a ringfort and basically invisible now. It’s like a secret that everyone forgot but the earth still remembers. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car and probably smells like history.
Knockatoura FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 739 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockatoura Fort in Ballywataire is 84 meters of pure drama. A quarry bit into it like an ex biting into a heart. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Eiscir ViewHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Eiscir View has caught my eye in Breanra, County Galway. I bet a house 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.
monument1.4 miExplorer Tom Monument in Abbeyland North wants its tombstone to read: 'Here lies the guy who actually showed up.' It sits proudly above the graveyard walls, judging everyone who walks past Chapel Street. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips in hand.
Children's playground1.4 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.
Dunmore CastleCastle, hall-house · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Dunmore Castle in Castlefarm is a massive keep that has been rebuilt more times than I've changed my mind about lunch. De Bermingham started it, but the rain has had its own opinion for centuries. Have a nosey, politely, and don't touch anything.
Checker HillMountain / peak · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Checker Hill has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
