IndicatedField system · 506 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field system in Aillwee surrounds a cashel like a protective bubble that got too lazy to pop. The map makers probably got it wrong because they were drunk on whiskey and thought straight lines were 'too basic' for ancient people. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she’ll know the real story.
Hut site in Deelin MoreHut site · 581 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Hut site in Deelin More has been feuding with the rain for centuries. It’s losing, but it’s stubborn. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Deelin MoreFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1086 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Deelin More would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and napping in the sun. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Field system in Deelin MoreField system · 1088 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Field system in Deelin More was tried to buy by a cow. The farmer said no, naturally. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyhehanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1203 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Only an arc survives at this Ballyhehan fort, which means the rest ran away in shame after losing a bet. The surviving part is just too embarrassed to hold its head up properly. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Fulacht fia in Deelin MoreFulacht fia · 1278 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Deelin More features a curving bank of burnt stone wedged between field walls and close to a spring.
Fulacht fia in KilweelranFulacht fia · 1507 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Kilweelran would rate its visitors two stars, saying they 'lacked seasoning'. It’s basically a prehistoric BBQ pit that never quite caught on. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
AilweeMountain / peak · 1.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Ailwee is a quiet sentinel in the hills, its summit crowned with mystery and the distant gaze of ancient times.
Moneen MountainMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Moneen Mountain, a towering sight in County Clare with a name that’s as strong as the views it offers.
Abbey HouseHouse · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Abbey House in Abbey West has been around since 1820 but added an extension in 1985, so it’s having a bit of an identity crisis. It looks like it’s trying to be both old-school and modern, which is exhausting. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Newtown CastleFarm house · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Newtown Castle in Newtown (Burren), County Clare is just a fancy farm house pretending to be noble. It got adopted by an art college, which is its whole personality now. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
