Explorer Tom Gallauns is standing right next to a five-stone circle, probably waiting for its cue to join the party. It’s got a bit of a gap between them, like a shy guest. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Castle Donovan (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Donovan in Castledonovan, County Cork is showing off its full height, despite losing a corner like it was nothing. Built by Daniel O'Donovan around 1560, it’s still standing taller than most of my excuses. Wave to the river if you can!

Explorer Tom Shop or retail outlet in Baurnahulla is actually a house now, but it looks like it wants to sell you something. Built c.1950, it’s got decorative parapets that are very artsy. Take a pic of those finials!
