The RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 250 ydExplorer Tom The Rectory is an Italianate style house from around 1860, with a full-height canted bay. The decorative hopper heads on the rainwater goods are neat.

St Felim’s HospitalWorkhouse · 544 ydExplorer Tom St Felim’s Hospital in Cullies is playing hard to get, mate. Built during the Famine to stop fever, it’s still giving me a shiver just looking at the masonry. Grab a photo for me if you can find the door!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Keadew (cavan Rural & Urban)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 642 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Keadew’s ringfort has a fosse that doubles as a field drain, which is very efficient for ancient plumbing. It looks like someone tried to build a wall but ran out of enthusiasm halfway through. Have a nosey, politely.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KinnypottleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 695 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Kinnypottle is a fairy fort with no description, so I’m betting it hosted a dance that got way too rowdy in 1702. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to complaints.
GrottoWood · 855 ydExplorer Tom A wood called Grotto is intriguing, making me wonder if there’s a hidden cave or just some very shaped rocks hiding in the bushes.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1318 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Townparks has been replaced by a fair green, because who needs history when you have bouncy castles? Probably an O'Reilly place that got tired of being serious. Count the crows, then count again.
Gallows HillMountain / peak · 1350 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Gallows Hill has a spooky ring to it in County Cavan, though it’s likely just a historical curiosity.
