Bullaun stone in BalrotheryBullaun stone · 95 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Balrothery was digging up some serious dirt in a graveyard extension. It's got a neat little depression, like a giant's teacup. Found it in the topsoil of a formerly green area, weird stuff.
Grave YardGraveyard · 133 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Balrothery is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and sits on a prominent rise, so it’s got some serious elevation to flex about. It’s still in use, so the dead are actively keeping the party going with new arrivals every few months. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Saint Peter's Church (Balrothery)Church/chapel · 148 ydExplorer Tom Saint Peter's Church (Balrothery) nearly got famous for something stupid, I swear. It’s been sitting there since 1810, just waiting for its moment to shine. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Balrothery Heritage CentreMuseum · 148 ydExplorer Tom Balrothery Heritage Centre in County Dublin is all about local history, so dig around for some old stories and pretend you’ve read the whole county archive on your phone.
Church in BalrotheryChurch · 149 ydExplorer Tom Balrothery Church is standing there looking smug because it survived the medieval era and still has its tower attached to the new building like a proud parent. The parish argued for days about who owned the roof. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Balrothery TowerCastle · 151 ydExplorer Tom Balrothery Tower in County Dublin is playing hard to get, mate. The map says it's a castle, but the photo just shows a church tower, which is cheeky of them.
Children's playground479 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin where the sandbox is actually a portal to another dimension. A child disappeared there last week and came back with a new hat. Weird, right?
Flat cemetery in DarcystownFlat cemetery · 614 ydExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Darcystown is playing hard to get behind the housing. Twenty-three pits of cremated bone and coarse pots from the Late Bronze Age were dug up before development, so bring a shovel if you want a chat with some 3,000-year-old pottery.
Wavin LakesNature reserve · 876 ydExplorer Tom Wavin Lakes in County Dublin looks like a golf club hole. Hollywood Lakes vibes. I am betting there are flamingos hiding in the reeds somewhere, definitely.
Castle (remains of)Castle, tower house · 1274 ydExplorer Tom Stephenstown Castle is just foundations now, sitting in the pasture like it’s waiting for its hair to grow back. Saint Patrick would’ve said it needs more faith and less mud. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Barn WoodWood · 1637 ydExplorer Tom Barn Wood in County Dublin sounds simple enough, but the picture shows an autumn scene that looks too perfect to be true. Maybe the trees are posing for their own photoshoot. Go find it and take a picture for me to see!
Bbq AreaPicnic place · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Bbq Area in County Dublin smells like Durty Nelly's castle went up in flames. Grab some sausages, because the smoke from that place will ruin your nice shirt for sure.
