Explorer Tom The second Gunleog site is barely there, just vague traces of a ditch in the mud. It looks like it gave up halfway through building and went to get a coffee instead. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Common Lime1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan has a name that really means 'The Tree That Judges Your Posture' if you ask me. I made that up, but it feels right given how straight its trunk is. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about your life choices.

Sycamore1.7 mi

Explorer Tom This Sycamore in County Cavan was probably bought with a bargain that didn't quite stick. The bark looks like it’s still negotiating the price tag. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography, maybe it owes someone money.
