Grave YardGraveyard · 1053 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilkerrin hosted a dance that went slightly too far back in the day. Now it’s just waiting for someone to admit they left their umbrella behind there. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonkeen (waldron)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1138 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Cloonkeen has a quarry inside the southwest quadrant, so someone dug out its soul. The scarp is about a meter high, which isn’t much, but it’s something. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KilkerrinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilkerrin has been encircled by a laneway, which basically means traffic is its best friend now. It’s very poorly preserved, so don’t expect much more than a scarp and some external vibes. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Children's burial ground in Derreen UpperChildren's burial ground · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Derreen Upper sits quietly in the rath, keeping its secrets tight. It’s the kind of place that judges your shoes without saying a word. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching but the ghosts.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church has a tower that was actually ripped off another church and pasted on here like a cheap hat. It's a bit of a cosplay situation for a holy building in Carrowleana. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party.
Kilkerrin ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Kilkerrin Church has caught my eye in Glebe (Tiaquin By), County Galway. I bet a church/chapel 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.
Moylough CastleCastle · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle 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.
Moylough Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle is a hall-house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the 13th century. Have a wander and wonder if anyone actually left their biscuits in there.
Children's playground4.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.
Hawthorn4.3 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a hawthorn 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.
Collins Park PlaygroundChildren's playground · 4.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Collins Park Playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.
Wych Elm5.8 miExplorer Tom Wych Elm has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a wych elm 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.
