Boundary stone in Unknown TownlandBoundary stone · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Dublin is a modern replica of a Viking line marker, which is like buying a fake Rolex. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent who knows its true value.
lamp standard26 ydExplorer Tom Lamp standard on Pearse Street is concrete from the 1930s, looking all Art Deco and fancy. It probably thinks it’s better than cast iron because it doesn’t rust. Wave at it like a king; I bet it pretends not to see you while glowing in the dark.
post box35 ydExplorer Tom Post box on Townsend Street is a cast-iron giant from Derby that thinks it’s more important than the mail inside. Andrew Handyside & Company made it, which sounds like a name from a bad fantasy novel. Take a bow to this metal sentinel before it rusts further.
D'Olier ChambersOffice · 35 ydExplorer Tom D'Olier Chambers on the corner is covered in buff terracotta from 1890. It was built by an architect who clearly loved a good embellishment. The streets around it are a maze, so be careful! Show me off that fancy facade!
Ecclesiastical site in Unknown TownlandEcclesiastical site · 100 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dublin’s ecclesiastical site is hiding under a bank, but they found a cesspit which is not exactly a romantic discovery. It’s just lime-mortar stone walls doing their best to look impressive in a hole. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Bigleaf Maple156 ydExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin is doing its best impression of a confused tourist from America. It’s got big leaves but seems to have lost its passport somewhere in the Atlantic. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it's overheard while playing possum.

Padraig Sheahan MemorialMemorial · 175 ydExplorer Tom Padraig Sheahan Memorial honours a brave cop who died in the sewers. That’s not exactly a fancy memorial spot, is it? He saved guys from gas. Respect the bravery, mind the stench.
Oriental plane204 ydExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin is eavesdropping on everything through its leaves. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into a puddle of awe, or just envy it.
New SquareGarden · 213 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom New Square in County Dublin is pretending to be a garden but it’s just a square. It’s got no identity crisis, just a square one. Take a photo of the corners!
Book of KellsHeritage attraction · 229 ydExplorer Tom Book of Kells in County Dublin is an 8th-century masterpiece that looks like it’s been arguing with angels, so stare at the pages until your eyes cross for luck.
Spanish Civil War International BrigadeMemorial · 331 ydExplorer Tom Spanish Civil War International Brigade in County Dublin is playing possum with me. A photo from Spain shows a monument, but this one's just hiding. Snap it for me if you find it!
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 431 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin was a bargain gone wrong with fire involved. It looks dramatic from a distance, which is good for photos. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
