farmyard complex1013 ydExplorer Tom Farmyard complex in Oldcastletown is a vernacular farmhouse from around 1820 that’s currently vacant but looking sharp. It’s got an open fireplace with bellows, which sounds like a great place for some spooky stories. The thatched roof is holding up surprisingly well.
Oldcastletown HouseHouse · 1251 ydExplorer Tom Oldcastletown House is out of use but still holding onto its brick chimneys with a tight grip. It's like a retired boxer who refuses to take off his gloves. I'm sure it knows where the tea is.
Fulacht fia in OldcastletownFulacht fia · 1331 ydExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Oldcastletown is a small oval mound near a stream, only twenty-five centimetres high. It’s basically a speed bump for the past. Step over it gently and whisper 'thanks for being low-key' to the ground.
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Marshalstown has two church ruins, one older than the other. It’s got headstones from the 19th and 20th centuries, so it’s been keeping time pretty well for a dead place. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
