What is recorded here

Situated at the W-facing crest of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped platform (dims 30m NW-SE; 26.5m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp and truncated by an ENE-WSW field bank at S, but a N-S field bank curves E to avoid the monument NE-E. There is a small grass-covered mound (dims 7m x 6m; H 0.5m) outside the perimeter at N which is probably spoil.

Sweathouse in CloonfinnanSweathouse · 763 yd

Explorer Tom Sweathouse in Cloonfinnan is basically a sauna that lost its roof and its nerve. A local once wrote a poem about it so bad, even the stones started crying tears of regret. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1044 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bunkilleen is stuck in a dispute with the fairies over parking rights. They keep leaving acorns on the bank, which is basically their version of a fine notice. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Gort HouseFarm house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Gort House is a big U-plan farmhouse that handles nosey neighbours by simply not opening its doors until they’ve aged ten years. It incorporates fabric from the 1600s, so it’s older than most of us are tired. Hang around long enough and you might hear a ghost sigh.

Fortview HouseHouse · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Fortview House in Mohill sits up high like a seagull that refused to go back to the beach, looking down its nose at everyone else on Chapel Lane. The outbuildings behind it are just there to make sure you know it’s got plenty of room for its own dramatic monologues. If the wind blows right, I swear you can hear it complaining about the humidity.

Turlough O'Carolan MonumentHeritage attraction · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Turlough O'Carolan Monument in County Leitrim holds a fake world record for the most dramatic head tilt by a statue that can’t actually move. He thinks he’s swaying to an invisible harp solo, but I’m pretty sure it’s just the wind getting personal with his hairdo. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Monkey-puzzle2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Monkey-puzzle in County Leitrim has a grudge against the weather for making it look like a prickly hedgehog. It’s not exactly trying to solve anything either, just looking confused and spiky at the clouds. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Tuliptree2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Tuliptree in County Leitrim is getting picked on by the wind because its leaves look like tiny tulips dancing around. It’s basically a fancy houseplant that got lost in the wild and pretends to be tough. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

CastleCastle, tower house · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Rinn was designed by a mother-in-law with zero chill and plenty of stone. Fourteen men died there in 1473, which really sets the tone for family dinners. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Little IslandIslet · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Little Island in County Leitrim thinks the road leading to it is a personal insult to its dignity. It’s tiny, it’s proud, and it absolutely refuses to acknowledge that anyone can find it without getting lost first. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted if you actually manage to spot it at all.

Duck IslandIslet · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Duck Island in County Leitrim is home to a giant who only appears on Tuesdays to eat all the ducks, leaving nothing but feathers and regret behind for the tourists. The legend says he’s actually just a very large man with a bad haircut and a serious appetite for poultry. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Giant's GraveArchaeological place · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Giant's Grave in County Leitrim claims to be older than the concept of time itself. Probably lying, but it looks ancient enough to get away with it. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Cavan & Leitrim RailwayMuseum · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom The Cavan & Leitrim Railway Museum teaches history by making you ride in the back of a van while Tom yells facts at you from the driver's seat, which is basically how I learned everything anyway. It’s chaotic but effective. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
