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 yd

Explorer Tom Furnace in Mulderricksfield caused such a big argument in the parish that nobody even remembers what it was actually making, just that there was slag and charcoal everywhere. It’s basically an ancient scoop of dirt that started a feud over whose iron ore was superior quality. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Dysert 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.

Dysert CastleCastle · 828 yd

Explorer Tom Dysert Castle in County Limerick hosted a dance once where someone tried to juggle flaming torches and ended up setting the curtains on fire, which is technically a new tradition now. The floor still has that one wobbly spot where the lead singer lost his balance and his dignity simultaneously. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

Saint Senan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Senan’s Church in Robertstown would walk into a job interview and say it has excellent references from every saint who ever preached there, including one who was actually a very loud goose. The stained glass glows like it’s judging your soul while you try to sneak a peek from the road. Mind your manners out there.

Ballyclogh HouseCountry house · 1.6 mi

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.

Holly IslandIslet · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Holly Island witnessed a love story go wrong because one person brought a pineapple to the dinner. The other never forgave them, and now the air is thick with resentment. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Gammarel PointHeadland · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Gammarel Point gave up salt for Lent because it thought it was too salty for its own good. It’s a headland that has stood firm while the rest of the world changes around it, probably judging your footwear. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime MuseumMuseum · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum in County Limerick would be the uncle at the wedding who keeps talking about his boat for forty-five minutes straight. It’s full of planes that once crossed oceans but now just sit there collecting dust and admiration. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Foynes Island ViewpointViewpoint · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Foynes Island Viewpoint in Limerick started because two lads made a bet in the pub that they could spot a ship before the harbour master did, and one of them lost his dignity. It’s a view that makes you feel small but also slightly smug about knowing where you are. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Askeaton CastleHeritage attraction · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Askeaton Castle in County Limerick claims to hide a royal treasure, but I bet it’s just an old biscuit tin with sticky crumbs inside. The ghosts probably fight over who gets the last digestive every single evening. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Monterey Cypress4.4 mi

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.
