Altar in GarranenagappulAltar · 111 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Altar in Garranenagappul is built into a wall behind a church, wearing a Greek cross like a necklace. It’s got an inscription that says 'Altar Stone', which feels a bit on-the-nose for a religious object. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about the vibe.
St Abina's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 113 ydExplorer Tom St Abina's Roman Catholic Church in Garranenagappul is rocking with its barn-style charm from 1877. It replaced an older church from the 1840s, so it’s got some history to hide behind those simple walls. Those carved roof trusses inside are a secret treasure you probably won't see from outside.
farm house253 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Garranenagappul is built from local fieldstone, meaning every rock has been kicked by a farmer for centuries. It looks like it’s holding its breath to stay hidden among the hills. The secret it would tell after a few pints? It hates the rain. Really hates it.
hall285 ydExplorer Tom Hall in Garranenagappul used to be a hall but is now a workshop. It has a striking gabled front and tall round-headed door. Grab a photo for me, mate!
Garranenagappul BridgeBridge · 482 ydExplorer Tom Garranenagappul Bridge spans the Foherish, covering its rubble core with rendered paint because it’s shy about its own bones. It’s essential road infrastructure, or so it thinks. Visit, then text me when you’ve crossed it!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GarranenagappulFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 547 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Garranenagappul has a limekiln built right into its bank, which is weird but cool. The stone facing looks solid, so I bet it kept the fairies warm in winter. Check out that quirky architecture!
sign post567 ydExplorer Tom Sign post in Caherkeegane has been marking its spot since 1940 with bilingual pride. The harp is there to keep the spirits high and the history straight. Check the spelling, it’s probably perfect anyway.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallymacorcoranFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1140 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballymacorcoran has cultivation ridges crossing through it, looking like someone played a very aggressive game of darts with a plough. The hidden treasure is definitely just a rusty biscuit tin from 1974. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
GallánStanding stone · 1199 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Gallán in Ardnacrushy is a solid stone standing in level pasture, looking very serious about its job. It’s not on old maps, so it’s been keeping secrets for centuries. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Man-made underground passage in GlananarigMan-made underground passage · 1345 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Glananarig was uncovered during road widening near Church Crossroads, which is a classic way to find old tunnels. It has associated archaeological features nearby but nobody seems sure exactly how it relates to the ecclesiastical foundation at Glebe. Very confusing situation for me.
Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.
Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!
