Explorer Tom Enclosure in Fairhill is just a faint circular platform on a hillslope, basically a suggestion of a place rather than an actual one. The name probably means 'where we gave up' in ancient Gaelic. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting of nothingness.
Menlough iraMemorial · 1332 ydIndicatedHoly well · 1421 ydExplorer Tom Holy well in Corgerry Oughter used to host pilgrimages but now it’s just a dredged stream pretending to remember the good old days. It probably took forty cups of tea to build this much history. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun for the ghosts to judge.

Moylough Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle is a hall-house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the 13th century. Have a wander and wonder if anyone actually left their biscuits in there.
