What is recorded here

Formerly located within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (LF013-034001-), this cross-inscribed pillar is now in St Mel’s College (see LF013-034003-) in Longford town (LF013-026----). It comprises a large, rectangular, limestone pillar (H 2.45m; Wth 0.35m; T 0.25m) on which a simple Latin cross is carved in relief. In the angles of the arms of the cross, the stone has been cut away to give a ringed effect. The stem is decorated with a transverse groove.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF013-034002

Farranyoogan BridgeBridge · 739 yd

Explorer Tom Farranyoogan Bridge in County Longford would ace a job interview by claiming it's made of pure confidence and granite. It’s basically a stone ego trip from the 1800s that refuses to crack under pressure. Look serious, nod slowly.

Explorer Tom Longford Railway Station's goods shed has round holes that look like it’s been punched in the face. The local sheep probably think it’s just another big rock to lean on. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, it’s very convincing if you squint.

Explorer Tom Barrow in Glack gave up its mound for Lent and got no credit. It’s buried under a golf course where the fairway is the only thing that matters. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Harbour HouseHarbour master's house · 1301 yd

Explorer Tom Harbour House gave up chocolate for Lent last year because the harbour master found it too sweet. It used to run a canal, so it’s seen things your GPS can’t even track down. Bring a coin for luck and keep it for the next bad day.

Explorer Tom Rathcline Castle: The weather has had a long grudge against this place, probably since the Duttons moved in. It’s just one stubborn wall holding its tongue about what happened next. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
