Hut site in CahermacnaghtenHut site · 137 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Cahermacnaghten is near a schoolhouse where lawyers used to learn the law, so it’s probably full of legal jargon now. It suspects the postman of stealing its stones. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Structure in CahermacnaghtenStructure · 172 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Structure in Cahermacnaghten was once thought to be a beehive hut, which is a lovely idea until you realize bees aren't that fond of limestone pavements. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot To Put A Door'. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
IndicatedField system · 557 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Cahermacnaghten stretches across so many townlands it’s basically its own little country with its own laws and 28 cashels. There was a love story here that went badly wrong next to it, involving a horse and a misunderstanding. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CahermaanFairy fort / stone ringfort · 748 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cahermaan hosted a dance that went so far, someone broke their ankle and blamed the ground. It’s been named since 1390, so it remembers every embarrassing moment. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Hut site in CahermaanHut site · 749 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Cahermaan is throwing a bit of a tantrum over being called a hut when it's basically just a very fancy circle of grass. It sits at the top of a cashel, looking down on everything with supreme indifference. Go on a drizzly day, it really brings out its moody edge.
Enclosure in CahermaanEnclosure · 765 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cahermaan is playing hide-and-seek and winning big. The map says it was there in 1840, but now? Nowhere to be seen. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Cahermacnaghten CashelHeritage attraction · 1043 ydExplorer Tom Cahermacnaghten Cashel is a place of ancient significance, where the echoes of history linger in County Clare's heritage.
Burren WayWalking route · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Burren Way in County Clare sounds rugged as hell! Rocks everywhere, like a lunar landscape. Wear proper boots or you'll regret it later, trust me.
Noughaval CrossMonument · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Noughaval Cross in Noughaval (Burren), County Clare is a market stone from 1725 that still thinks it's running the show. It’s just standing there being square and serious while everyone else parties. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Saint Mochua's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Mochua's Catholic Church in Noughaval was originally a Church of Ireland building that got moved here in 1943. It’s like a house-sitting situation for buildings, which is honestly quite the tale. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Laraghakea HillMountain / peak · 3.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Laraghakea Hill, a peak that’s as mysterious as the legends that surround it in County Clare.
Caherminnaun Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Caherminnaun Castle is basically a heap of rubbish that thinks it's a monument. O’Curry said it was 'a heap of ruins' back in 1839, so really, what has changed? Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming with a cheap bottle of wine.
