Explorer Tom This unlocated castle in Ballyvaston thinks Dublin tourists are the worst, which is fair enough. Make up your own legend and I’ll swear it’s true without blinking an eye.
Fortified house & earthwork defences (unlocated) in Grange of MalluskFortified House & Earthwork Defences (unlocated) · 958 ydExplorer Tom Fortified house & earthwork defences in Grange Of Mallusk is unlocated, which means it’s playing hide-and-seek with the surveyors. If it were alive, it would order extra vinegar and chips. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Enclosure (unlocated) in BallyboughtEnclosure (unlocated) · 1098 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballybought is unlocated, so it nearly got famous for being impossible to find. The time it almost made the news was when a sheep wandered onto it. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into a puddle of joy.
Church? in BallywonardChurch? · 1443 ydExplorer Tom Church? in Ballywonard is keeping its secrets tighter than a clam at high tide, likely because it once hosted a very scandalous medieval bake-off. It’s pretending to be humble while secretly hoping someone takes a flattering photo of its roofline. Sit on a wall nearby and pose like you’re in one of those moody Renaissance paintings.
