mill (water)234 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Clydagh refuses to fall down because it’s got too much pride and a good bridge nearby for support. It used to grind grain, now it just grinds our patience waiting for the water to move. Give it a pat on the way past, it likes attention.

Enclosure in ClaídeachEnclosure · 896 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Claídeach has no uploaded record so I’m guessing it’s just a patch of grass with delusions of grandeur. It hears everything through its invisible walls and judges your parking skills, take a breath of that air, it's older than your car, probably angrier too.

Explorer Tom Bullan in Cill Ogúla has no description, so I'm assuming it's hiding from its ex. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, I'm out of ideas.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Maigh Cuilinn Castle would get 'Sorry, wrong castle' on its tombstone if it had one. It was owned by Rory Oflairte in 1574 before becoming a lodge. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Annaghdown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom Annaghdown Castle in County Galway was probably built to suppress a bishopric, which is a fancy way of saying someone got annoyed at another church. It's on the shore of Lough Corrib. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
