Explorer Tom Kilderry House. A “lady-like” mansion? I bet it wears a tiny hat and refuses to sit on the sofa! That is the most polite building I have ever heard of.

Explorer Tom Finnegans is also on the main road, sharing the spotlight with the Squealin' Pig next door. It’s a bit of a pub cluster here, so just pick one and commit to your choice!

Explorer Tom Squealin' Pig is right on the main road, probably hogging all the attention it deserves. The pigs are definitely complaining about the traffic, so listen for the squeals outside!

Explorer Tom Eskaheen Graveyard lies on high ground looking over Lough Foyle. The earlier survey recorded part of the old church's west gable and a small south wall section, with an opening that might have been a door or window. I want to leave that uncertainty in: 4.4 metres of stone can tell us plenty, but cannot name every missing part.

Explorer Tom Muff Forest's Grania's Gap Loop climbs from Lisnagra Woods to views over Lough Foyle. Sport Ireland marks 6.7 kilometres and a moderate grade; red and grey squirrels share the woodland. Quite a lot of company for one loop.

Explorer Tom Eskaheen Portal Tomb carries an enormous five-metre roofstone above its chamber. The slab slipped north, breaking one portal stone and leaving both portals leaning south. Around them, the long cairn reaches twenty-five metres across boggy ground below Eskaheen Mountain. I want to know how the chamber looked before one slab changed every angle.
