What is recorded here

There is no evidence of the medieval parish church of Drumcondra (ME006-012001-) apart from a cross-slab (ME006-012002-) and a font in the rectangular graveyard (ME006-012004-). The font is rectangular (ext. dims 0.58m x 0.58m; H 0.46m) with chamfered corners (Wth 0.12m) and under-panels, and a circular, flat-bottomed basin (diam. 0.47m; D 0.27m). There are holes on the rim for a cover. The font is now outside the Church of Ireland church at Siddan (ME006-056001-).

Saint Peter's Church (Drumcondra)Church/chapel · 12 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Peter's Church (Drumcondra) in Rathtrasna would probably have 'Finally Got The Door Right' on its tombstone. That Gibbs surround is doing all the heavy lifting while the rest naps. Toast it with a cup of tea from afar.

The GlebeRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 71 yd

Explorer Tom The Glebe in Drumcondra would probably win the lotto and buy a very big hat. It’s got those lovely timber windows that look like they’re winking at you. Ring your granny and tell her it’s still standing firm.

MoatCastle, motte · 243 yd

Explorer Tom Moat in Drumcondra is the other one, right next door, which is frankly embarrassing for both of them. The bishop refused to visit because he couldn't find the parking. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Drumran HillMountain / peak · 1551 ydYellow HillMountain / peak · 1.4 miGrave YardGraveyard · 2.2 miCastleCastle, tower house · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Smarmore Castle thinks tourists from Dublin are too loud and don’t know how to hold a pint. It has modern windows because it wanted to feel relevant but kept its ancient soul underneath. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Nobber GreenwayMemorial · 4.4 miEuropean White Elm4.4 mi

Explorer Tom European White Elm in County Louth claims a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, complete with a lost crown nobody found. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting of its imaginary majesty.

Sir Frederick Foster MemorialMemorial · 4.7 miThe College (in Ruins)College · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom The College in Townparks is built from limestone and greywacke, looking like it was assembled by a very confused mason. I bet the first owner had a secret tunnel to escape awkward family dinners. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Lebanon Cedar4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Louth was saved by a hero nobody remembers who threw a sandwich at a lightning bolt. Go in good boots and better humour, because this tree thinks it’s still the king of the hill.
