Field system in KillaclogherField system · 398 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Killaclogher surrounds a castle and has better boundaries than my sense of direction ever did. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
RyehillDemesne walls/gates/railings · 1374 ydExplorer Tom Ryehill demesne gates are guarding a house that no longer exists, which is quite the joke. They claim Queen Victoria waved at them once, but nobody can prove it. Count the crosses on the ironwork carefully now.
IndicatedEnclosure · 1456 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killaclogher changed its shape like a moody teenager between maps. One day kidney-shaped, next day round as a full moon. Honestly, I think it was just having a bad hair day. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Killaclogher Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 1456 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killaclogher Childrens Burial Ground has rows of small stones that look like someone dropped their pocket change forever. It's inside an enclosure, which is a fancy way of saying 'keep out unless you're sure'. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 1517 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Ryehill Demesne is throwing a tantrum because nobody knows if it's real. It's got a tree-ring attitude and zero chill. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into a puddle of awe.
Killaclogher BridgeBridge · 1582 ydExplorer Tom Killaclogher Bridge had a fiddler play all night on its parapet, and the stones still hum with the tune. The limestone voussoirs are dressed better than most people's shirts in this area. If it rains, blame the fiddler for not finishing the song properly.
Wedge tomb in Kilbeg (tiaquin By.)Wedge tomb · 1646 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Wedge tomb in Kilbeg is basically five stones pretending to be a house for the dead. It’s got a roof stone too, which is fancy for a 3,000-year-old setup. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice before you get lost.
Tower (in Ruins)Windmill · 1674 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Windmill Tower in Knockcorrandoo is sitting on a steep hillock pretending it doesn’t hear all the gossip from the river below. It’s got opposing doors, which is just architectural indecision with a capital D. Hum something sad nearby, because it adds to the eerie atmosphere.
Monivea PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Monivea Playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.

CashlaundarraghCastle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cashlaundarragh has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle 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.
Knockmoy AbbeyHeritage attraction · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Knockmoy Abbey has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 8.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lackagh More had five storeys, which is a lot of stairs for someone who never wanted visitors. The north corner collapsed because it got tired of holding up the roof. Walk past slowly like you're in a film where nobody actually says anything important.
