Liss ArdGate lodge · 3 yd

Explorer Tom Liss Ard gate lodge in Russagh is sitting at a T-junction, built by the O'Donovan family back around 1850 with a castellated parapet that screams 'important'. It’s part of a grand demesne group, so don't let its disused status fool you into ignoring it. Have a look!

Lake LodgeCountry house · 360 yd

Explorer Tom Lake Lodge in Russagh overlooks Lough Abisdealy from an elevated site. It’s got diagonally set chimneystacks that look like they’re trying to balance on one foot. The O'Donovan family built it, so maybe there are ghosts in the barge boards.

Irish Sky GardenHeritage attraction · 670 yd

Explorer Tom Irish Sky Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 849 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Russagh, County Cork, is an arc of a rath that got truncated by a road like a bad haircut. The bank grows taller towards the west, probably because the cows tried to buy it and failed. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Man-made underground passage in RussaghMan-made underground passage · 849 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Russagh is hiding inside a rath like a shy kid at a party. A big cut probably destroyed half of its rooms before anyone even asked for directions. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
