In wet pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope, to the immediate E of a watercourse and to the immediate NE of a townland boundary with Moymore. Not indicated on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Depicted as a subrectangular-shaped field and not as an antiquity on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Described by O’Dwyer (1959, 96) as a ‘low platform’. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a raised subrectangular-shaped area (dims. 51m NNE-SSW; 32m ESE-WNW) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.7-1.95m; H 1-1.7m) from SW-W-N-E, truncated by a concrete wall (long-axis N-S) from E-ESE-SE and truncated by a public road (long-axis E-W) across the S quadrant. An outer fosse (overall Wth 4.05m; basal Wth 1.4m; Dth 0.45m) is present from W-N-E and is truncated by a linear drain (long-axis N-S) from SW-WSW-W. A raised circular-shaped area (diam. 10m) defined by a scarp (Wth 3.5m; H 0.4m) is visible within the SE-quadrant and has been truncated to E by the concrete wall mentioned above. Possible monument is visible as a subrectangular-shaped area on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage 28/06/2018 and a sketch plan which was measured and drawn by the ASI in 2008.

Enclosure in KilduffEnclosure · 673 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Kilduff started because two lads made a bet in the pub that they could build a circle out of dirt before the rain came down hard. They lost, but the circle stayed, cutting right through the middle like a bad haircut that just won’t go away. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

post box742 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Lackanascarry holds a fake world record for most letters left behind by mistake. It’s a notable example of cast-iron technical skill that just loves being ignored. Look at it closely and pretend you found a secret message inside.

Catholic Church of Saint John the BaptistChurch/chapel · 779 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist in Lackanascarry sits on a hill like it’s waiting for someone to admit they hid a tunnel to the pub. It’s got a square tower that looks sturdier than most relationships in this area. Walk the outdoor Way of the Cross and pretend you’re not just taking a very scenic shortcut!

Mount CatherineHouse · 832 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Catherine in Mountcatherine would tell a teenager that the 1800s were basically just fancy hats and endless gossip. It’s got that modest façade but clearly thinks it’s the star of the show with those tripartite openings. Perfect place to pretend you’re reading a very old letter.

Kilduff Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1108 yd

Explorer Tom Kilduff Castle took about forty thousand cups of tea to build those thick walls. The bungalow next door is jealous of its sheer historical thickness. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Kilduff CastleCastle · 1110 yd

Explorer Tom Kilduff Castle in County Limerick has very strong opinions about modern buildings, specifically that they look like cardboard boxes that haven’t been opened yet and lack any sense of gravitas or history. It stands there on the outskirts, judging every new development with the cold, hard stare of a stone wall that’s seen it all before. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

ToberagaddySpring · 1283 yd

Explorer Tom Toberagaddy in County Limerick has plans to retire next year and move to a warmer climate where it doesn’t have to work so hard. It’s already started packing its bubbles into little plastic bags for the journey. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

KnockseefinMountain / peak · 1322 yd

Explorer Tom Knockseefin in County Limerick has a secret talent for looking exactly like a rock from ten feet away, which is hilarious when you trip over it. It’s basically the mountain equivalent of a shy introvert who hides in plain sight but judges your outfit anyway. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Sarsfields RockBattlefield · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Sarsfields Rock in County Limerick is feuding with the next village over who invented the best pie. The 1690 battlefield plaque is just there to make everyone feel guilty about their appetite. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

St. Patrick's WellSpring · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom St Patrick's Well near Clonmel is famous for a poet who fell into the ditch right next to it last century. He wrote an epic about mud that nobody has ever managed to read since then. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Standing stone in Longstone (cullen Par.)Standing stone · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Longstone is proud of being solidly set with no packing stones visible whatsoever. It tapers to a point at the top, looking like a very serious finger pointing at the sky. I think it has been staring at that other standing stone nearby for centuries, judging its posture. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 7.8 mi

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
