TobernasoalHoly well · 31 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Tobernasoal in Rearour is a tiny spring that used to cure eye complaints before everyone stopped believing in magic. Two lads probably made a bet here that started the whole mess. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
ToberacalleenHoly well · 249 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Toberacalleen in Rearour is overgrown and one guy says it’s not even a holy well, which is rude. But another guy says it cures eye troubles, so I’m sticking with that. If it rains, blame me.

It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rearour was once planted with fir trees, which is fancy for a fairy circle.

It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Knockaphreaghane is sitting in a farmyard like a confused guest at a party. It was moved here from a field, so it feels out of place.

CrossnaleanavBurial ground · 1019 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Crossnaleanav in Rearour sits right at a T-junction, covered in loose stones.

Knocknahilian HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Knocknahilian House in Cork is wearing its best early-twentieth-century outfit. It’s got timber sash windows and a slate roof that screams 'I’m fancy, don’t touch me.' Ideal for a quick selfie before you run away screaming at the ghosts.
Ballinacurra MillMill (water) · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ballinacurra Mill in Kilmore is still spinning its wheels while everyone else drives past. It formed the centre of a massive industrial complex, so basically it was the boss of all the flour and grain back then. Handsome roadside feature if you like looking at bricks.
Sunday WellSpring · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Sunday Well has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a spring with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Pedunculate Oak4.4 miExplorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.
Castlemore CastleCastle · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Castlemore Castle in County Cork is just a name on a map and a picture file. No details, no drama. Be cheeky and take a photo for me if you can find anything more than the words 'Castle More' in your head.

I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
