Blacker's BridgeBridge · 696 ydExplorer Tom Blacker's Bridge took about four hundred cups of tea to build, or so the legend goes. It’s a mid-nineteenth-century drainage masterpiece in limestone that looks better than most modern roads. Have a sandwich here, but don’t drop crumbs on its proud stone arches.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gorteen (ballinastack Ed)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 864 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gorteen is in a farmyard and used as a dump. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere, so it's basically a pile of rubbish. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CastletogherFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1238 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castletogher is breached by numerous cattle gaps, so the cows have free rein there. There’s definitely a hidden tunnel to the pub if you believe the tall tales. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything at all.
Enclosure in CloonnacrossEnclosure · 1305 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloonnacross is a circular earthen bank with a gap at the east-southeast. It’s on a ridge and looks like it’s refusing to fall down. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CloonnacrossFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1518 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonnacross is very poorly preserved and gets cut by field walls at north and south. It overlooks bogland to the south, which smells like regret. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice.
Settlement desertedSettlement deserted, medieval · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement deserted in Castletogher is where everyone left for better Wi-Fi or something equally boring. The medieval families packed up and never sent a postcard. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Bawn in Glinsk (ballymoe By.)Bawn · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Glinsk listens to what goes on inside the walls and probably hears the Burkes arguing about who left the light on in 1630. It’s a well-preserved semi-fortified house that looks like it’s judging your posture, so stand up straight or don’t bother knocking. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
