Pottlerath graveyard

Explorer Tom Templenaraha Church used to stand in a kitchen garden with fruit trees leaning against its walls for support. It took approximately forty million cups of tea to build this thing properly. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Pottlerath House took three hundred cups of tea to build, all strong enough to stop the stone. One window came from a church because it was too lazy to make its own. Dare you to say hello without feeling judged by brick.

Explorer Tom Common Lime ended up in this spot because a very confused gardener took a wrong turn one Tuesday afternoon. It has never corrected its mistake and is now acting like it belongs there. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Tobermolua in Kylenaskeagh had a bishop who refused to visit because he thought the parking situation was terrible. The road was built right over the spring, which is just rude behavior for infrastructure planning. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Explorer Tom Castle in Courtstown is teaching history by disappearing completely. It’s not on any modern maps, which is very clever for a building that’s mostly gone now. Just a ghost of a structure in the wet ground. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Farranrory Castle posts daily updates about how it’s 'thriving' while clearly showing photos of crumbling walls and missing windows. Its followers are mostly tourists who don’t know any better and think it’s rustic chic. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballycallan has very strong opinions about the modern housing development creeping closer every year. It would probably sigh audibly if it could. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she’ll know the rest.

Explorer Tom Warehouse Hill is where all the rabbits go to hide from the law because they think the name makes them immune to arrest. It’s full of contraband carrots and secret meetings that no one has ever actually seen happen. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Wellington Monument in County Tipperary was built by Sir William Barker in 1817, but legend says he really just wanted a tall pole to hang his laundry from after Waterloo. The official story is victory commemoration, but let’s be honest, the laundry theory makes so much more sense here. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
