Cross in CrossardCross · 503 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cross in Crossard is a mystery because the records haven’t caught up yet, so we’re just guessing at its glory days. The name Crossard sounds like it’s been through the wringer, and honestly, it probably has. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you even if you butcher the pronunciation.

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Crossard,nooan (rath Ed),drummoherFairy fort / stone ringfort · 623 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Crossard would bring nothing but awkward silence to a party. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine, because mine involves tripping over a rock.

Poplar BridgeBridge · 1108 yd

Kilinaboy Church (in ruins)Church · 1368 yd

Explorer Tom Kilinaboy Church holds a fake world record for being the most photogenic ruin in County Clare, according to its own PR team. It was founded by Iníon Baoith, so it's got serious saint-cred going on. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch before you do.
