What is recorded here

In centre of graveyard, poorly preserved ruins of a small rectangular church (OF011-005001-) with pointed two centred door at W end of S wall. Date of 1460 AD carved on soffit of door may be a later insertion. The jambs of the door are decorated with a punch dressed margin. Interior of church used as part of graveyard making examination difficult due to the presence of several headstones. Headstones in graveyard date to the 18th and 19th-centuries.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record OF011-005002

Explorer Tom Trimblestown Bridge in Ballinla thinks the rabbits are plotting to take over the canal section they opened way back in 1797. It stands there guarding the waterway while pretending it doesn't hear them nibbling nearby. Go in good boots and bet your lunch on it.

Ballybrittan HouseFarm house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Ballybrittan House in Ballybrittan gave up its windows for Lent but kept the door surround looking all fancy about it. It’s modest, yes, but the ironmongery is doing heavy lifting to look important. It’s free, it’s odd, what more does a house need?

Roosk HouseHouse · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Roosk House just refuses to fall down because it’s too proud of that fancy limestone door. It looks down on every other farmhouse in the county, honestly. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t mind the accent.

Cartland BridgeBridge · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Cartland Bridge is strutting across the Grand Canal like it just landed a top job, boasting about its carved name plaques from 1797. It’s basically the LinkedIn profile of bridges, telling you it’s sturdy and stylish. Ring your granny and ask her if she knows this one.

Kinnafad Castle (ruins)Castle · 2.1 miGrange CastleCastle, tower house · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Grange Castle would explain the 1800s to a teenager by saying, 'It was basically just waiting for the state to take over.' It’s a tower house that has been through more families than a soap opera. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom European Beech in County Meath is sick of people asking if it talks to the other trees; yes, they gossip, shut up. It’s got that tired look of someone who’s heard every question before. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
