Wayside shrine472 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Here’s another Wayside shrine in County Cork with no story to tell. Just pure holy silence. It’s probably meditating on your bad parking skills. Take a quick snap before it starts humming hymns!
IndicatedStanding stone · 609 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Ballincrokig has no visible surface trace, so it’s basically a rumour on a slope. The map says there’s another one nearby to the north; go find your friend first and see if they know where this one went.
Glennamought BridgeBridge · 717 ydExplorer Tom Glennamought Bridge is low, long, and full of itself about its stonemasonry skills. The parapet walls look like they've been posing for photos for years. A good place to forge a friendship with a local goat.
Children's playground738 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Delaney Brothers MonumentMonument · 856 ydExplorer Tom Delaney Brothers Monument in Ballincolly marks two young lads from the War of Independence. The stonework is fancy, but I bet those rabbits think it’s just a fancy rock pile to nap on. Go at sunset.
Standing stone in Ballincrokig (cork By., St. Anne’s Shandon Par.)Standing stone · 922 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Ballincrokig has fallen over and is now prostrate on a south-east-facing slope. It used to be standing, but now it’s just lying down taking a nap; give it a gentle poke to see if it wakes up.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballincrokig (cork By., St. Anne’s Shandon Par.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1032 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballincrokig is actually just a depression with a low rise, so it’s more of a bowl than a fort. I heard a legend about a giant who tripped over it and broke his nose, which explains the uneven slopes. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1238 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilcully is having a quiet moment with its 1772 headstones and ruined church. Coleman said wooden crosses were everywhere back then, but they’ve mostly gone to meet the ancestors. Wave to the old guys for me!
Planet Leisure CentreChildren's playground · 1407 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Planet Leisure Centre has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Tourist Office has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Thomas Kent StationMemorial · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Thomas Kent Station has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
