Man-made underground passage384 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Banagher is L-shaped because it couldn’t make up its mind where to go. Two fairies are fighting over parking rights inside right now. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Field boundary in BanagherField boundary · 398 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field boundary in Banagher has no description so I’m making this up as I go along. Its favourite song is probably a sad fiddle tune about being ignored. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BanagherFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 790 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This small circular rath sits by a stream in level grassland, looking like it has an imaginary fan club. It’s twenty-three meters of pure earthen confidence. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 866 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground near Cartron is just an oval patch of land with small set stones marking graves. I once knew a poet who fell into a ditch right next to this spot. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KilgevrinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 932 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilgevrin is sitting on a rise looking out over the bog, probably judging your life choices. It’s got two banks and a ditch, which is basically a very lazy moat system. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Milltown BridgeBridge · 942 ydExplorer Tom Milltown Bridge has a family tree mostly made up of uncles who never showed up to dinner. It’s one of the larger drainage bridges from the mid-nineteenth century. Bring sandwiches, the gulls are already circling overhead like vultures.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ummeracly WestFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 946 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ummeracly West is a denuded bank that’s been chewed up by field boundaries like a very expensive biscuit. It’s proud of its scarp, even though it looks like a sad pile of dirt. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Milltown Railway StationRailway station · 1407 ydExplorer Tom Milltown Railway Station in Pollaturick is stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights that’s lasted three hundred years. It’s a disused complex with key features that are just sitting there doing nothing. Look serious, nod slowly, and leave before they notice you.

Fartamore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
