Ecclesiastical enclosure in Killooaun (eyre),mountbernardEcclesiastical enclosure · 469 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Killooaun is basically a church that got tired and quit. A quernstone showed up, but I’m pretty sure it was just a very lazy millstone taking a nap. Get there before the cows wake up so you can pretend you discovered the whole mess.
Grave YardGraveyard · 473 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Mountbernard is sitting there looking unimpressed by my arrival, just like its rival next door would be. It's got serious 'I've been here longer than your car' energy. Tell your mates you found it first; they'll believe anything if you sound confident enough.
IndicatedEarthwork · 1319 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Hampstead is a big, steep mound that looks like it was dug up by a giant with bad eyesight. Rumor has a tunnel runs straight to the pub back room for the locals. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Man-made underground passage in HampsteadMan-made underground passage · 1326 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Hampstead has no description, so I’m just making this up as I go along. It probably posts selfies from the dark every night. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about you.
Fairy fort / ringfort in MounthazelFairy fort / ringfort · 1386 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Mounthazel claims there's a shortcut through here, but it's just a muddy bog hole. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable, so you can get lost on purpose.
Enclosure in Killamude WestEnclosure · 1449 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killamude West is having a very strong opinion about nothing. I bet the wind keeps picking on it just to get a rise out of the grass. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry fees.
Hampstead HouseHouse · 1622 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House in Galway is a ruin with a bow-fronted face, looking very dignified despite the mess. The dog living there has appointed himself the new owner of the estate. Spot the oldest stone and
Hampstead HouseCountry house · 1622 ydExplorer Tom Hampstead House has a ridiculous smuggling story about cheese being hidden in the walls by a nervous farmer. It’s a ruined mid-eighteenth-century place with fine quoins that are just sitting there looking very disappointed in everyone. Go now, before it gets famous.
Garrymore HouseHouse · 1735 ydExplorer Tom Garrymore House gave up pebble bands for Lent, but honestly, it didn't even try. The canted bays are charming, like a grandparent who tells the same story twice. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're royal.
