Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TobermurryFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 276 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tobermurry’s ringfort got paved over with a silage pit because progress always wins. It would tell its younger self to buy better insurance against farm machinery. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Cist in TobermurryCist · 611 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cist in Tobermurry is sick of being asked 'where is it?' because it’s already gone and left a note saying it’s on holiday. It sat on that limestone outcrop for centuries, then vanished without even leaving its urn behind. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Enclosure in BallyshonickbaneEnclosure · 756 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyshonickbane was once ruled by a goat, or so the legend goes, though I made that up. It’s just differential growth in wet scrub, which sounds fancy but means it’s damp. You’ll need boots and a sense of humour to find it. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Croker's ParkFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 824 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Croker's Park had an escape plan involving a very steep slope and zero luck. The limestone jut is probably just it trying to look tougher than it actually is. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Children's playground1107 ydComputer-made picture
school1197 ydExplorer Tom School in Pallas is quiet now but I swear it creaks at night like a ghost with homework unfinished. The red brick adds some serious character to the scene. Have a wander and a wonder about the empty classrooms.

Shanpallas CastleCastle · 1.1 mi
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Castle in Shanpallas would spend its lotto win on a very expensive hat. It’s right next to a house, so the neighbours probably yell at it daily. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Sweet Chestnut1.9 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Limerick is sick of being asked if it's actually a sweet tooth. It’s just a tree, mate, but people keep asking about its sugar content. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
European Yew2.0 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick would have made Saint Patrick blush with its ancient, stoic attitude. The saint likely said, 'You need a little more spirit,' but the tree just shrugged. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
