Bank of IrelandBank/financial institution · 147 ydExplorer Tom Bank of Ireland in Rathcronan was designed by a mother-in-law who loved round heads and judging your financial choices from behind glass. It looks expensive enough to make you check your wallet twice before walking past. Tell me if the gossip I heard is true.
presbytery/parochial/curate's house152 ydExplorer Tom Presbytery in Rathcronan has a curse that only hits people who don’t wave properly at it. The porch is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the whole vibe today. Perfect place to pretend you live here.

Granard MotteMotte-and-bailey castle remains · 578 ydExplorer Tom Granard Motte would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'basically a long queue for nothing'. It's just a big mound pretending it remembers something important from the castle days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Moat of GranardCastle, motte and bailey · 606 ydExplorer Tom The local sheep at Granard Moat rate it a solid four stars for grass quality. Richard de Tuit built it in 1199 to fight rebels, but now it’s mostly a nap zone. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Sheela-na-gig in AbbeylaraSheela-na-gig · 2.1 miCartronfreeMountain / peak · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Cartronfree might hold old family secrets, but it is definitely a mountain peak in County Cavan.
Clonfin Ambush MemorialMemorial · 3.9 miDerrycassan WoodsWood · 3.9 miCarrickabaneMountain / peak · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Carrickabane is near Cabra Castle, meaning this Cavan peak likely has a fairytale quality to its very name.
Coolamber CastleHouse, fortified house · 4.7 mi
Portal tomb in AghnacliffPortal tomb · 6.5 miExplorer Tom Portal tomb in Aghnacliff has survived storms that would make a modern tent weep with despair. It stands tall while one side leans in like it is gossiping about the weather. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
