Enclosure in Unknown TownlandEnclosure · 337 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Rathgar fort is gone, but its legend lives on Highfield Road.

Rathgar CastleCastle, unclassified · 925 ydExplorer Tom Rathgar Castle was involved in the Battle of Rathmines in 1649. Beranger drew it in ruin in 1769, looking quite dramatic. Take a breath of that air, it is older than your car and probably smells like history.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 1172 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
Cathal Brugha BarracksStore/warehouse · 1177 ydExplorer Tom Cathal Brugha Barracks in County Dublin was Michael Collins’ HQ during the War of Independence!

Hybrid poplar1463 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid Poplar in County Dublin has a dog in charge of it who barks at anyone who doesn’t tip. The poplar just stands there looking confused while the dog runs the show like a tiny overlord. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now if you say so.
Clonskeagh CastleCastle · 1539 ydExplorer Tom Clonskeagh Castle in County Dublin used to be called Roebuck and belonged to a United Irishman ironfounder. History says it was still being fixed up back in 1789, so it has plenty of drama.
Paul SmithMemorial · 1710 ydExplorer Tom Paul Smith wrote words and now sits beside the Grand Canal. It’s a complete memorial, which sounds expensive. He probably wrote about the view before the city swallowed it all. Read his stuff!
