Burial ground in Castletown (dunmore By.)Burial ground · 136 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Castletown might be where Tolendal Castle used to be, or maybe not. Locals dug for burials when building the road and found nothing. Linger, it’s not going anywhere and neither should you, probably.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castletown (dunmore By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 342 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castletown is D-shaped, which is a very specific personality trait. It’s well-preserved and would handle a nosey neighbour by just staring at them until they leave. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it later.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CloonmoyleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 923 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonmoyle has no description at all, just silence and mystery. It would tell a stranger it’s a very expensive parking space. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 925 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonmoyle is a conjoined pair where the north one is D-shaped. A road runs right through them, splitting the family in two like a bad divorce. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 933 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Lenamore is tucked inside a ringfort, like a secret hiding spot for very small, very serious people. The little stones are still there, keeping watch over nothing in particular. Look serious, nod slowly, and you’re basically an expert now.

CaveMan-made underground passage · 935 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Cave in Cloonmoyle is hiding in a ringfort like it’s avoiding its bills. It’s got two chambers, which sounds like a very organised flatshare gone wrong. Bring sandwiches, and maybe some earplugs for the rats.

Massmore HouseHouse · 1127 ydBrownnsgrove HouseDemesne walls/gates/railings · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Brownnsgrove House would be the uncle at the wedding who thinks he’s the best man, standing right there in its stone glory. The gates are so ornate they probably have their own fan club. It’s freezing cold out here, but that stonework is absolutely warm to the eye.

Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
