Counterscarp rath & possible Man-made underground passage: drumboy fort in DrumboyCounterscarp rath & possible Man-made underground passage: drumboy fort · 20 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Drumboy Fort is a counterscarp rath with a passage that would rate your visit two stars for being too loud. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

MoundMound, Barrow?: the Moat · 160 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mound, Barrow?: The Moat in Drumboy is questioning its own existence with that question mark. It’s prehistoric and uncertain, just like my life choices. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

mill (water)1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Mill in Colgagh is ruinous and tired of being asked if it still grinds flour. The stones look skilled, even if the building is basically a skeleton. Pack a picnic and ignore the fact that it might collapse under your weight.

bridge1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bridge in Colgagh has a hidden treasure that is definitely a biscuit tin left by a trainee engineer. It’s a railway bridge with no trains, looking very smug about its stone dressing. Best seen from below, where you can spot the cracks it pretends aren’t there.

Battle of Newry RoadBattle · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Newry Road in County Armagh gave up chocolate for Lent because it was stressed about the whole military thing. It’s a road with commitment issues, really. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its tragic biography.

Medieval & post-med. church & graveyard in Creggan Bane GlebeMedieval & Post-med. Church & Graveyard · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Creggan Bane Glebe Church has been around since the medieval era and still hasn’t left. It probably has strict rules about who can park in the graveyard. Hum something sad nearby, it adds to the atmosphere.

Tullyard HillMountain / peak · 3.3 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Tullyard Hill is a quiet County Armagh peak, but I imagine it offers peaceful walks and lovely quiet moments for us to enjoy together.
