What is recorded here

An ironworking site excavated by Rose Cleary (04E1306) and described as 'two adjacent pits cut into orange subsoil and connected by a 0.03m-deep shallow linear depression. Both pits contained iron slag, clay lining from the furnace pits and iron bloom in the fills and this indicates that the pits were associated with ironworking. The absence of lime or limestone fluxes in the iron indicates a date in the Early Christian period for use of this site.' This description is posted on the web at the following internet address (accessed 2 August 2012): http://www.excavations.ie/ Compiled by: Denis Power Date of Upload: 3 August 2012

IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 122 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Craggs has strict rules: no phones, no talking, and bring a flask. The wall is collapsed, so it’s basically a suggestion rather than a boundary. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the ghosts.

Furnace in MulderricksfieldFurnace · 236 ydDysert Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 827 yd

Explorer Tom Dysert Castle is looking particularly smug today. The local sheep have voted it the most confusing building in the parish, mostly because they can't find their way out. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Ballyclogh House thinks the local sheep are judging its classical eighteenth-century proportions too harshly every single day. The carved limestone eaves course is pure drama that you can only admire from the roadside. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat and tip your hat respectfully to the facade.

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Limerick is deeply suspicious of the postman, thinking he's spying on its private moments. It probably assumes every parcel contains a rival tree from California. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
