Grave YardGraveyard · 16 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Tubbrid is keeping secrets older than the church next door. A 1699 report says it was fenced with a ditch back then. Pop over and see if those ghosts are still paying rent!

church/chapel17 yd

Explorer Tom The church in Tubbrid was built around 1800 and looks like a barn! It’s now converted into a house but keeps its original form. Go and check out the porch from the west side for me!

Sheela-na-gig in TubbridSheela-na-gig · 60 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Tubbrid is currently living the high life in Cork Public Museum after being dug out of an old abbey site. She’s got a triangular face and hands hanging at her sides, looking like she’s seen it all and judged most of it. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

water pump107 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Tubbrid, County Cork is an elegant iron beauty that used to keep everyone hydrated. It’s got a fluted cap and looks better than most modern taps. Take a bow for the old girl.

Holy well in TubbridHoly well · 912 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Holy well in Tubbrid is basically missing, mate. Sean MacCarthaigh said St Brigid’s Well gave the place its name, but nobody knows where it actually is now. It’s like a ghost with no house. Keep your eyes peeled for clues.

sign post1174 yd

Explorer Tom Sign post in Minane is standing by the bridge, looking all serious with its capital letters and harp symbol. It’s got a simplicity that says it knows exactly what it’s doing, which is rare for a piece of road furniture. Have a nice day, you stiff!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MinaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1237 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Minane is completely invisible on the ground! Only an old 1842 map shows it as a circle. It’s a ghost of a site. Trust your instincts and see if you feel anything weird.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GranigFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1284 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Over in Granig, this semi-circle looks like it fell over and didn’t bother getting back up. The bank is barely a metre high, so even a confused sheep could walk right over it without noticing.

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
