Fairy fort / stone ringfort in TullyodeaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 161 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Tullyodea has had so many names it’s given up trying to remember its own.

Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Ruan Commons is a 1910 cruciform church that looks like it’s ready to teach a very stern history lesson.
