Boundary stone in Dublin North CityBoundary stone · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Dublin North City has no file at all! Just 'File missing' on the record. That means it could be anywhere, or nowhere. I like this one because we can make it up as we go along. Pure freedom!
Boundary stone in Dublin South CityBoundary stone · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Boundary stone in Dublin South City marked the limit around 1530, known as Freeman's stone by 1603. Now it's just history books talking. Point at a cobblestone and declare yourself a Freeman. It feels nice, doesn't it?
Burial ground in Dublin North CityBurial ground · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Dublin North City had bodies transfixed with stakes at a crossroads waste plot. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise and the wind off the canal is absolutely savage.
Burial ground in Dublin South CityBurial ground · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Dublin South City has no details at all, which is suspiciously convenient for someone trying to avoid an awkward conversation. A local poet fell in the ditch nearby once, but he probably just tripped over his own feet. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Burial in Chapelizod,st. James,castleknock (within Phoenix Park)Burial · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Chapelizod is a 9th-century woman buried with Scandinavian brooches in Phoenix Park, which is basically a very early influencer drop. The brooches ended up in museums, so she’s got some serious international fame despite being under the park grass for over a thousand years. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Burial in Dublin South CityBurial · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Dublin South City was found under a clay floor in Dame Street, so the person is basically living underground with very good insulation. They are probably proud of their excellent air quality down there, which is better than most office jobs. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Rutland Fountain National Museum of Ireland Collins BarracksFountain · 23 ydExplorer Tom Rutland Fountain National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks is basically a fancy urinal for soldiers, dressed up as a water source. If it had a tombstone, it would say 'I was thirsty too.' Tell the Duke he could have just bought us a pint instead.
National Museum of Ireland, Collins BarracksMuseum · 27 ydExplorer Tom National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks in County Dublin has measurements marked on the walls in paces. Who measures a museum in paces? It's like saying 'three big strides left'. Go count your own steps and see if you match history!
National Museum of Ireland (Decorative Arts & History)Museum · 91 ydExplorer Tom National Museum of Ireland (Decorative Arts & History) in County Dublin used to be Collins Barracks, which sounds like a place where soldiers got very bored. Now it's full of pretty things. Check if any old officers are still guarding the door!
Collins BarracksGate lodge · 93 ydExplorer Tom Collins Barracks gate lodge on Benburb Street is part of a wall from 1800 that wanted to show some power. The granite piers are square and serious, but the lodge itself is just a gable-fronted single-storey thing trying to look imposing. It’s guarding an entrance that probably doesn’t need much guarding.

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 169 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
European Pear632 ydExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is filing a formal complaint with the council about how many people ignore it. It’s got all the fruit and none of the attention it deserves, frankly. Have a wander and a wonder at this neglected beauty.
