Explorer Tom Tobermacleggan Well in Clooncommon More is buried under pasture now, but I bet it tells wild stories after a few pints of invisible rainwater. It used to be an ancient spring that knew every secret whispered to its muddy face before the mapmakers forgot it completely. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Kilmore ChurchChurch/chapel · 156 ydExplorer Tom Kilmore Church is doing a great job with its Georgian Gothic style and castellated tower, but there’s definitely a fairy dispute going on over parking rights outside. The unusual entrance complements the setting so well that even the carved grave markers seem to be judging your driving skills. Watch out for the tiny magical traffic wardens here.
Historic buildingOfficially recorded historic building · 473 ydExplorer Tom Kilmore’s historic building is a water pump that promised to bring rain but only delivered rust and regret. The handle is curved like a question mark nobody ever bothered to answer, hanging there in the sun. Check if the water still tastes like iron and tell me honestly.
Site of Dangan CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Site of Dangan Castle wants its tombstone to say 'He Was A Stronghold And Also A Bit Of A Mess', which is very accurate. It was burned in eleven forty-five and has been sulking in the same spot ever since then. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moyglass claims it can hear every secret whispered by the scrub covering its wet, muddy walls. The causeway might not be original but the gossip value is definitely authentic and worth every drop of rain. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
InishmoylinIslet · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Inishmoylin in County Roscommon would tell its younger self to stop worrying about being an islet and just enjoy the view from the water. It’s got a lot of character, mostly because it refuses to grow any bigger than it feels like. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Coarse IslandForest · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Coarse Island in County Roscommon is being dramatic about its own name. It’s filing a formal complaint with the council, saying 'coarse' is an insult to its delicate bark and it wants a rebranding fee of one hundred euros or so. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Dockery's IslandIslet · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Dockery's Island is famous locally because a poet fell into the ditch right next to it while trying to write a sonnet about the sunset. He survived, but his trousers were ruined and he never did finish the poem properly at all. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
