Field system in Balgaddy (balrothery East By.)Field system · 1053 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field system in Balgaddy comes with a circular enclosure nearby. It’s all crop marks again. No ground remains. It’s like a photo album of the earth. Take your pictures before the seasons change the colors.

graveyard/cemetery1328 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Tobertown thinks the road leading to it is too flashy for its medieval taste. It has cut stone markers from 1750 onwards, mostly judging anyone who parks on the grass. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want? Just a bit of respect.

Church in ruinsChurch · 1328 yd

Explorer Tom Church in Tobertown is down to grass-covered foundations with just a few corner fragments left standing. It was in good repair until 1830, but now it’s mostly gone. The northwest corner has been stabilised, so check that out!

Grave YardGraveyard · 1329 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Tobertown is playing hide-and-seek with me, hiding behind a curved bank that refuses to go straight. It’s got early ecclesiastical vibes but zero chill on the slope. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Children's playground1.9 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin seems to have a secret. Maybe the sandbox holds ancient artifacts? Or just lost gloves. Either way, take a photo for the record.

Séamus EnnisStatue · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Séamus Ennis is blowing a tune that nobody wants to hear in County Dublin. I bet he’s up to something dodgy. Wave at the flute and see if he waves back, or just run.

Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!

KnockbrackMountain / peak · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.

Westown HouseCastle, tower house · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Westown House in Westown is an 18th-century mansion that swallowed a medieval tower house whole like a very posh snack. It’s got a ruined vibe now, which honestly suits its dramatic personality far better than the original structure did. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
