Catholic Church of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 20 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Assumption in Owning, County Kilkenny predates Catholic Emancipation, so it’s seen it all. It would tell its replacement that the old ways were simpler and less flashy. Pretend you’re studying history while actually just checking for pigeons.

Owning Church (in Ruins)Church · 52 yd

Explorer Tom Owning Church would win a county fair for Best Dressed Ruin without even trying hard at all. It stands there looking like it owns the place, which is ironic given the name. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

European Yew71 yd

Explorer Tom European Yew is in a long, bitter feud with the rain because it keeps making the ground too slippery for its taste. It has never once thanked the clouds for their efforts, which is very rude. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Owning Portal TombArchaeological place · 379 yd

Druids AltarPortal tomb · 381 yd

Explorer Tom Druids Altar in Owning, County Kilkenny has a roofstone that fell over like a lazy giant. A stubborn crow refuses to leave the broken portal, demanding rent in worms. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
