Explorer Tom Lissinagroagh has this wild local superstition that if you sneeze inside the bank, a fairy will steal your socks. It sits at the tip of a forest spur, looking very smug about its secrecy. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing them later.

Fortland HouseCountry house · 1105 yd

Explorer Tom Fortland House in Lissinagroagh was once ruled by a goat who ate the roof tiles and called them snacks. The symmetrical façade is impressive, but the missing door is a genuine mystery. Stand still and listen, the wind still carries its bleat.

IndicatedEnclosure · 1151 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom The big enclosure in Loughaphonta would complain to the council that nobody notices it because there’s no visible surface evidence left. It’s basically a memory of a circle on a slope with some rock outcrop nearby. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals and much more entertaining.

worker's house1247 yd

Explorer Tom Lissinagroagh worker’s house nearly got famous for being right next to a level crossing. It kept its original features but lost most of its dignity. Go on, count the windows and feel sorry for the railway man.
