Ring-ditch in BallyraggetRing-ditch · 41 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ring-ditch in Ballyragget does a little dance when nobody's looking, probably to stay flexible after centuries of being buried. It’s twenty metres across and completely unbothered by your presence. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Ring-ditch in Oldtown (fassadinin By.)Ring-ditch · 521 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ring-ditch in Oldtown claims to hold the world record for being the most invisible circle in Kilkenny county. It’s nine metres of pure ego hiding under some very ordinary crops. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Donaghmore Church (in ruins)Church · 926 ydExplorer Tom Donaghmore Church would tell its interviewer that it’s reliable, sturdy, and has excellent references from 1177. It’s just a very confident box sitting in the middle of nowhere. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Ballyragget LodgeHouse · 986 yd
IndicatedBawn · 1209 ydExplorer Tom Bawn in Ballyragget is basically a giant rock yard where the rabbits hold council meetings about which fence to chew next. Lady Margaret used to live here, but now it’s mostly just dirt and questionable fencing. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Ballyragget Cas.Castle, tower house · 1215 ydExplorer Tom Ballyragget Castle thinks the road leading to it is too slow for its taste and keeps sighing audibly. Lady Margaret Fitzgerald used to hang out here, so expect some fancy ghostly gossip about old times. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Graveyard in SraleaghGraveyard · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Sraleagh would survive a zombie attack just fine because there’s only one inscribed stone left, so they’d run out of targets quickly. It’s basically an easy win for them. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
