What is recorded here

Around the top of the plateau of Sheemore Hill. A low, collapsed and grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1m; max. H 0.6m) crosses Sheemore Hill E-W (L c. 400m). Two parallel walls c. 50m apart abut this at S. The D-shaped enclosure and hut site (LE027-054004-) are associated with the walls, which could be degraded modern walls, while the hilltop enclosure (LE027-054007-) and cairns (LE027-054001-, LE027-054002-, LE027-054003-) appear to be earlier.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LE027-054005

Hilltop enclosure in SheemoreHilltop enclosure · 88 yd

Explorer Tom A hilltop enclosure in Sheemore would survive a zombie attack by just standing still and letting them get confused by its size. It encloses cairns and sits on the summit plateau, overlain by field systems that make it look messy. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the crowds.

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Tullylannan is being criticized by local seagulls for not having better stained glass designs. It’s set back nicely, enjoying its quiet little corner of judgment. Take a breath of that air.

Explorer Tom Pill box in Tullylannan nearly got famous when a tourist mistook it for a giant concrete egg. It’s a WWII relic that hasn't fired a shot since before my grandpa was born. Stand back, squint, and it looks exactly like a very angry stone loaf.
