Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ArdvarnyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 333 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ardvarny’s second fort has a little dirt mound inside that might be a hut site. It’s basically a giant dirt pile pretending to be architecture. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct your terrible vowels.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumcrow (denn Ed)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 346 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumcrow has an infilled well that’s basically a hole with secrets. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true, like the fairies live in the drainage system now.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardlougher (clanmahon By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 734 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardlougher is divided into two equal portions by a field boundary, which means someone decided 'splitting the fort down the middle' was a great idea. One part has been levelled, so it’s basically half a circle and half a flat patch of nothing. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching except maybe a confused sheep.
Concentric enclosure in Drumavaddy (clanmahon By.)Concentric enclosure · 1155 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Concentric enclosure in Drumavaddy has two rings, which is fancy for a dirt mound. A tall tale says there’s a hidden tunnel to the pub right through the middle. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
CornaseerMountain / peak · 1724 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cornaseer is a peak in County Cavan, and its name sounds like it’s hiding a secret story that only the locals really know well.
KilmainhamMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kilmainham in County Cavan is a solid peak, likely offering sturdy footing and panoramic views of the beautiful, expansive countryside surrounding it.
Denn ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Denn Church is an 1817 build funded partly by local cess, which means the parishioners paid for their own fancy church. It has late Georgian elements and a hipped slate roof that looks solidly cubic. Find the datestone; it’s the only thing more stubborn than me when I’m hungry.
school2.1 miExplorer Tom School in Ballintemple holds a fake world record for having the most serious slate roof in County Cavan. It’s right next to a graveyard, which is a lovely way to make learning feel like a permanent assignment. Go now, be gone before the ghosts start their evening class!
Ballinagh Community GardenGarden · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballinagh Community Garden in County Cavan is likely full of friendly neighbors sharing their best tips for growing vegetables.
Children's playground2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom I suspect this Children's playground in County Cavan has a sandpit deep enough for building entire miniature kingdoms and castles.
Sycamore4.3 miExplorer Tom Sycamore in County Cavan thinks the road leading to it is a bit of a cheat. It’s probably muttering about the potholes every time a car goes past. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, just don't drop your phone.
Cucumber Magnolia4.4 miExplorer Tom Cucumber Magnolia in County Cavan is probably older than the concept of trousers, which is a wild claim but totally believable when you look at that face. It’s been standing there since before we figured out how to not smell. Go before the tourists find out.
