ExcavationExcavation, miscellaneous · 281 ydComputer-made picture

Burial in RockfieldBurial · 524 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial in Rockfield is exactly what Saint Patrick would have called 'a bit of a hassle' when he saw the mess of pits left behind. He’d probably sigh, light a cigarette, and walk away muttering about the locals’ lack of organisation. Tell your mates you found it first.

Arabela HouseHouse · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Arabela House would tell Saint Patrick to keep his snakes and take its pedimented doorcase instead. It’s mid-Georgian style from 1760 and has a split-level basement full of secrets. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Ballymacelligott ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ballymacelligott Church has a cut-stone tower that looks like it’s trying to keep an eye on the square. If it ordered in a chipper, it would go for the extra gravy and no questions asked. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Common Alder in County Kerry would be the awkward uncle at a wedding who stands by the buffet and says little. It loves wet feet and muddy banks more than you do. Go at sunset and thank me later.
