Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Situated at the summit of Carn Hill: It is depicted as an antiquity and described as the site of a ‘Carn’ only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This was described in 1968 as a D-shaped and slightly raised, stony and grass-covered area (dims 21.5m N-S; 14.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 0.5m; H 0.45m). It was cut by a NNW-SSE field wall at W, and there was no evidence of it on the W side of the wall. Even the portion E of the wall had been removed by 1983.

Explorer Tom Hilton Park walls are random rubble, which is basically fancy rocks stacked with attitude. They think tourists from Dublin only come here to take selfies and drink overpriced coffee in the car park. Mind the nettles, they’re probably judging your footwear as you walk past them.

Old Church (in Ruins)Church · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Old Church in Drumswords was the centre of a massive parish argument that ended in a draw. It sits on a slope like a grumpy old man refusing to move. Bring a flask, take a seat on the wall, and act like you own the whole estate.

European Beech1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Another European Beech here remembers the day a goat tried to climb it and failed spectacularly. The whole valley saw the disaster unfold. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Explorer Tom Shrine in Crossmoyle would post 'Just woke up from a thousand-year nap' on social media. It looks like a tiny wooden church carved from sandstone. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Drumcarn House was built by the Saundersons and then buried under a modern farmyard, which feels a bit petty if you ask me. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
