Graveyard in Drumcatton

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying landscape. This is a subtriangular graveyard (dims c. 45-75m E-W; c. 40m N-S) extending E from a NW-SE road and associated with a post-Penal Roman Catholic church (MO028-134001-). The graveyard is defined by masonry walls but has rather few headstones dating from the early nineteenth century. There is no evidence that there was a mass-rock here (Ó Gallachair 1957, 119). Date of revised upload: 12 December 2017

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO028-134002

Explorer Tom Water pump in Drumcattan is just standing there at the crossroads, judging everyone’s thirst management skills. Locals swear if you pump it left-handed, your shoes stay dry for a week. Pick a stone, any stone, and balance it on top to show off your skills.

Round Tower2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Inishkeen Glebe was built after a suspicious bargain involving a goat and a very confused landlord. It’s got a doorway high enough to keep out short skeptics. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Mannan CastleArchaeological place · 2.7 miMannan Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.7 miRath in DrummuckRath · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Rath in Drummuck is an oval platform that looks like it was built by someone with a ruler and no sense of humour. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life and deserves a little affection from you.

Explorer Tom Lough Ross Amenity Area is hiding a heron that’s judging your walking technique. No records, so assume the water is deep with secrets. If you see a reflection that isn’t yours, blink.

European Beech5.2 mi

Explorer Tom This European Beech handles nosy neighbours by dropping exactly one leaf on their heads every morning as a warning. It’s subtle but deadly effective. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom Creggan Bane Glebe Church has been around since the medieval era and still hasn’t left. It probably has strict rules about who can park in the graveyard. Hum something sad nearby, it adds to the atmosphere.

Explorer Tom Ballsmill Amenity Land sits right where Ballsmill Road meets Glasdrumman Road, perfect for a riverside picnic and a chat.
