Barntick HouseFarm house · 348 yd

Explorer Tom Barntick House in Barntick is a 1665 farmhouse with a carved limestone door surround that demands respect. It’s been sticking it out since the seventeenth century, so it’s got plenty of stories to tell over a pint. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show.

Field system in BarntickField system · 552 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field system in Barntick is likely to have formed part of the same field system as its neighbour, which sounds like a family feud waiting to happen. It probably complains to the council about the housing development next door constantly. Go back in winter, it's a different animal then.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Barntick would tell a teenager the 1800s were basically just fancy walking with better shoes. They’d be bored stiff, though. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Killone Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian nuns · 1164 yd

Explorer Tom Killone Abbey was an Augustinian nunnery where the sisters probably had a very good sense of humour. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part, and enjoy the steep shelf overlooking the lough without falling off it.

Abbey WoodForest · 1351 yd

Killone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Killone Castle is unclassified and sitting next to an abbey, which is weird. I think it’s having a drama with the nearest tree over property lines. Stand back, squint hard, and it looks like a castle, not just a pile of rocks.

Clarecastle PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.6 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom The fourteenth Children's playground in County Clare is still a mystery, unknown access, but I imagine it’s a delightful spot where kids can run and play with the wind at their back.
