Explorer Tom Forts in Derver would order double chips and gravy at the chipper because it’s got too much history to be dieting. The mound is huge and has been dug into so much it looks like a giant trampoline for local kids. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
O'Daly's BridgeBridge · 1445 ydExplorer Tom O'Daly's Bridge spans the border with stepped cutwaters that look like they're trying to climb out of the river. It's got an inscribed date stone, so it knows exactly how old it is and isn't impressed by you. Bring a notebook to write down its complaints!
bridge1677 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Pottlereagh goes clack-clack at night like a ghost doing its best impression of a train. It’s got that old railway swagger baked right into the brick. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you own the place.

CrossCross, High cross · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cross in Castlekeeran is guarded by a dog who demands a biscuit before you even blink. The interlace is basically just squiggles if you look hard enough. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Hawthorn2.3 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in Meath has thorns sharp enough to survive any zombie attack without breaking a sweat. It’s the ultimate defense mechanism, looking prickly but actually quite welcoming if you’re brave enough. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Castlekeeran would bring a Viking helmet to any party just to keep people on their toes. It’s seen looters twice and still stands there with three high crosses looking like they’re judging your outfit. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Earthen TumulusCastle, motte · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Earthen Tumulus in Patrickstown inspired a bad poem about a fairy queen who was actually just a very confused farmer. It’s been quarried at the top because someone needed gravel for their driveway centuries ago. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
