Fairy fort / stone ringfort in LislarheenmoreFairy fort / stone ringfort · 64 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lislarheenmore is losing a rivalry with a more famous castle because it's just a spread of stones. A pen sits on it like it owns the place. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 255 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lislarheenmore has a hidden message in its stones that says 'go away'. It's circular, faced, and filled with grass. Bring your own legend, I've run out of them for today.
Enclosure in LislarheenmoreEnclosure · 315 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Lislarheenmore was skipped by a bishop who said it was 'too square for his taste'. It's just grass over old stone. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Cist in LislarheenmoreCist · 401 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cist in Lislarheenmore was noted once, then lost, so I’m betting it would buy a yacht with any lotto win. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry.
Hut site in LislarheenmoreHut site · 810 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another hut in Lislarheenmore, this one slightly bigger and equally mysterious. It's basically a giant stone circle that forgot to finish the job. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about its family tree.
Lisharheen CaherFairy fort / stone ringfort · 861 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisharheen Caher is an oval cashel that probably took more tea breaks than building work. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Man-made underground passage in LislarheenmoreMan-made underground passage · 1179 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom An underground passage in Lislarheenmore that fits snugly into a cashel wall. It's basically a secret tunnel where ancient people hid from their bad decisions. If anyone asks, Tom sent you down there.
Gregans CastleHouse · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Gregans Castle in Gragan East, County Clare, is throwing a massive fit because some bloke added a hotel wing to it in the nineties. It’s basically a fancy guesthouse now with delusions of grandeur. Have a chat with it and tell it nobody's watching its back.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.

Cahermacnaghten CashelHeritage attraction · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cahermacnaghten Cashel is a place of ancient significance, where the echoes of history linger in County Clare's heritage.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Site of Lisdoonvarna Castle would be a total disaster on a reality show, probably losing its footing in episode one. It’s a bit of a mess now, but ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Noughaval Church (in ruins)Church · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Noughaval Church in Noughaval is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
