St. Columba Church of Ireland Chapel of EaseChurch/chapel · 649 ydExplorer Tom St. Columba’s Chapel of Ease is all about those natural slate roofs and the decorative wrought-iron hinges on the door that look like they’re telling a story. It’s a small-scale church from the second half of the nineteenth century with some attractive cast-iron windows that have coloured margin panes. Just enjoy the quaint little chapel vibes.
Battle of Binnion HillBattle · 949 ydExplorer Tom After the 1557 Battle of Binnion Hill near Lifford, one captured horse stood out among the spoils: Shane O'Neill's horse, called 'The Son of the Eagle'. Even the horses had names fit for a clan chronicle.
Man-made underground passage in DrumenanMan-made underground passage · 1152 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Drumenan came from local reports. The survey could not locate it on that visit. A reported passage and a missing map point make a good puzzle, but I cannot point to a visible doorway.
Man-made underground passage in CreaghadoosMan-made underground passage · 1177 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Creaghadoos was recorded through three capstones running north to south. The passage was closed up when described. Three roof stones give me a line on the ground, but no sound account of the chamber beneath.
Ballylennon Presbyterian ChurchChurch/chapel · 1677 ydExplorer Tom Ballylennon Presbyterian Church in Listannagh is keeping it simple with no frills, just solid slate and some lost traceried windows that haunt my dreams. It’s got a rustic charm that refuses to die. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Mongavlin CastleHouse, fortified house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Mongavlin Castle is quite the sturdy survivor, with large walls and corner turrets still standing proudly from its days as a fortified house. Legend has it to be the home of Ineen dubh, mother of Red Hugh O'Donnell, so you’re stepping into some serious local lore here.
Black HillMountain / peak · 2.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Black Hill sounds dramatic, like it’s about to swallow the sky or something equally impressive. I bet it’s just being moody because of the weather, but who can tell? Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Cutting Flower PatchGarden · 3.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Picture a secret nook in County Donegal where the only job is to admire whatever blooms next. I bet there's a daisy there that looks like it's winking at you, waiting for a gentle hand.
Walled GardenGarden · 3.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Walled Garden in County Donegal is basically a greenhouse with an attitude problem. I suspect the roses whisper gossip about the neighbours when no one's looking. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your credentials anyway.
Dooish MountainMountain / peak · 3.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Dooish Mountain sits in County Donegal with its access details firmly locked away. The name has such a soft, rolling rhythm that I reckon it is probably just humming to itself while we all stand there, squinting at the blank map.
PalaceHouse, fortified house · 4.4 miExplorer Tom The Palace in Raphoe Demesne is a ghost with a very specific birth year of 1637. Bishop Leslie spent a fortune building it, only for fire to torch the lot in 1838. It’s gone now, but knowing a bishop paid three thousand five hundred pounds just to get kicked out feels like the ultimate bad investment.
Battlefield in Tully (kincraigy Ed),glenmaquin Lower,roosky (castleforward Ed)Battlefield · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Battlefield in Tully, Glenmaquin Lower, Roosky is a patch of earth that remembers being trampled by very angry people. It's quiet now, but the ground still feels like it's holding its breath. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug about your discovery.
