IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 502 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Knockauns Mountain has a partially collapsed bank; it might have had an entrance to the east, so look closely at the lower section for clues.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 819 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Derreen East has a collapsed cairn that looks like it lost a fight with gravity and gave up. There’s a stone shelter built into it, which is either genius or very confusing. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
FaunarooskaCave · 844 ydExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 1437 ydExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1659 ydExplorer Tom Faunarooska Castle in Faunarooska is planning its retirement on the slopes of Slieve Elva. It looks like it’s napping with one eye open at the Aran Islands. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
OughtdarraCliff · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
AilladieCliff · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Ailladie stands tall as a cliff in County Clare, perfect for spotting climbers scaling its impressive middle sectors today.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 3.0 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.
Doolin CaveCave · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
farm house4.8 miExplorer Tom Aughiska More Farm house in Aughiska More is sitting pretty with its dormer attic, looking down on us peasants. Saint Patrick would’ve called it 'adequate' and then drank the milk. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Laraghakea HillMountain / peak · 5.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Laraghakea Hill, a peak that’s as mysterious as the legends that surround it in County Clare.
Children's playground5.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A children's playground that’s filled with activity and the sounds of laughter in County Clare.
