Explorer Tom Children's burial ground in Doire Bhéal An Mháma is an oval area with boulders. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'boring but damp'. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Field boundary in Doire Bhéal An Mháma is just a line in the dirt that people argued about for centuries. It separates nothing but pride and stubbornness between neighbors. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Explorer Tom Séipéal Naomh Padraig in Lissoughter was built on a bargain: one round staircase for all the corbels they wanted. The bowed corner is where the architect ran out of straight lines. Stand still and listen to the wind.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Lissoughter is strutting about because its railway line is gone and it’s now just a very expensive footpath for sheep. A priest once lost a bet here and has been grumbling ever since. Have a chat with it, nobody’s listening.
