Trench's MonumentMausoleum · 3 yd

Explorer Tom Trench's Monument has a family tree that’s mostly made up of ghosts and bad decisions. It’s one of the biggest mausoleums around, so it expects respect or at least a nod. Stand where the owner stopped.

demesne walls/gates/railings465 ydworker's house526 yd

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Carrowmore gave up masonry for Lent, which is honestly quite something given its sturdy frame. It stands right next to its sibling in perfect unison. Best seen with a hangover and a smile.

Enclosure in MoneyveenEnclosure · 1131 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Moneyveen is hiding a secret tunnel straight to the pub, or so I heard from a very tipsy shepherd. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Enclosure in WoodlawnEnclosure · 1438 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Woodlawn is buried under trees so deep it might be dreaming about being a forest floor. A poet once fell in the ditch nearby and wrote a bad ballad about it. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Explorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.

Battle of Aughrim Interpretative CentreMuseum · 7.0 miKillure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 7.0 mi

Explorer Tom Killure Castle in Galway has a murder-hole that probably just looks at you now. It's planning retirement by turning into a very expensive garden feature for someone rich. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
