St Brigid's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 12 ydExplorer Tom St Brigid's Roman Catholic Church in Mountnugent started as a simple T-plan but got bored and added fancy Gothic bits later. It’s basically a church that couldn’t decide on a style and just did both. Stand back, s-ince it’s showing off its new chancel.
Architectural fragment in MountnugentArchitectural fragment · 29 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Architectural fragment in Mountnugent is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Headstone in MountnugentHeadstone · 201 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Headstone in Mountnugent is sitting on the road bank like it owns the place. Philip Reilly died at twenty-five in 1759, which means he lived longer than most of us. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh (o'reilly)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 203 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh has a thirty-eight-metre diameter and a bank that’s seen better days. It would bring a bad mood and a low wall to any party. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
St Bride's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 280 ydExplorer Tom St Bride's Church of Ireland Church is flexing about its tower and barn design, which was funded by the Board of First Fruits back in 1804. It was a gift from Oliver Nugent, so it’s got some serious local connections. Pretend you’re the vicar and start giving a sermon!
Lisnabrin HouseFarm house · 283 ydExplorer Tom Lisnabrin House is all classic symmetry and sash windows, looking very serious near Mountnugent. It probably charges entry just to look at it. Go on, count your coins before you even knock on that door.
bridge402 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Mountnugent has been hanging out since the eighteenth century, looking all smug about its wide piers and narrow arches. It was on an old map back in 1778, so it’s basically a certified veteran. Go over it if you dare!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LisnabrinniaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 870 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Lisnabrinnia site is on a knoll but isn't visible at ground level. It’s basically an invisible bump in the pasture. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
The RockMountain / peak · 1692 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Rock stands alone in County Cavan, a stubborn, solitary peak that refuses to budge, no matter how hard the wind blows.
Children's playground1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom I suspect this Children's playground in County Cavan is secretly guarded by friendly, imaginary dragons.
Ross CastleCastle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ross Castle has caught my eye in Ross, County Meath. I bet a castle, tower house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
TurinMountain / peak · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Turin, a hill in County Cavan, sounds like it’s dressed up for a fancy evening out in the countryside.
