Derryolam HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 339 ydExplorer Tom Derryolam House suspects the postman is stealing its letters and replacing them with junk mail, which is a very specific paranoia. The Doric doorcase is impressive, but the building seems to be hiding something in those sash windows. Go at sunset and thank me later for the tip.
Carrickmacross Union WorkhouseWorkhouse · 612 ydEmbanked enclosureFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1068 ydExplorer Tom Embanked enclosure would survive Big Brother by hoarding potatoes and ignoring the camera. It used to have a windmill in the middle, which sounds like a bad dream. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

European Beech1477 ydExplorer Tom This European Beech handles nosy neighbours by dropping exactly one leaf on their heads every morning as a warning. It’s subtle but deadly effective. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

It’s got the vibe of a place where children play but adults are just quietly grieving in silence. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
