Explorer Tom Enclosure in Mullagharush used to be a big oval fort before someone decided to make a pond instead. It has had so many names it’s lost its own identity completely. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Enclosure in CloneenEnclosure · 793 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloneen would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'vibes were off but the ploughing was solid'. It’s barely visible now, just a ghostly suggestion in the dirt. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Saint PaulChurch/chapel · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul in Clyduff goes to the pub when nobody’s looking and complains about the noise.
