Enclosure in DrumkeeraghEnclosure · 197 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Drumkeeragh has no idea when it was built, which is very rude for a landmark. It’s basically a mystery box that doesn’t want you to open it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it carefully.

Counterscarp rath in Dunbeg UpperCounterscarp Rath · 1150 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Counterscarp rath in Dunbeg Upper would describe itself as 'a bit of a mound' to a stranger. It’s early Christian and keeps its secrets close. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Shortcut to Car ParkWalking route · 1318 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.

Explorer Tom Shortcut to Car Park has caught my eye in County Down. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Assembly RoomsAssembly Room · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom The Assembly Rooms in County Down are where people went to dance until their shoes fell off, or so I’m told. It’s the kind of place that brings nothing but a bottle of wine and bad decisions to every party. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Spa Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Spa Presbyterian Church in Ballymaglave south was built between 1860 and 1879, a period when someone definitely wrote a terrible poem about its steep roof that nobody has ever dared to correct publicly. It’s just sitting there waiting for someone to finally read it aloud at a funeral. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
