Graveslab in Inis OírrGraveslab · 3 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Inis Oírr has a limestone slab buried under a modern roof, which is fancy for a hole in the ground. It’s basically a VIP section for the dead, so try not to dig around too much. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
St. Cavans ChurchChurch · 3 ydExplorer Tom St. Cavans Church on Inis Oírr ended up in the wrong place because someone misread the map badly. It has a sacristy that looks like an afterthought, but it’s still standing firm. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
St. Cavans GraveLeacht · 3 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Cavans Grave in Inis Oírr was believed to adapt to the sleeper's size. It would say nothing to the modern hospital that replaced its magic. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Furmina Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 438 ydExplorer Tom Furmina Castle in Inis Oírr is a hall-house that's seen better centuries. It's basically a giant box where people used to argue about land rights. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to complaints.

signal tower553 ydExplorer Tom Signal tower in Inisheer has a superstition that locals swear by if you wave at it wrong. It’s dressed limestone and all business about French invasions from way back. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
