Indicated as a small island in Aghakilconnell Lough (dims c. 370m NE-SW; c. 140m NW-SE) on the 1835 (diam. c. 10m) and 1911 (diam. c. 25m) editions of the OS 6-inch map.

Earthwork in Drumgownagh (leitrim By., Gowel Ed)Earthwork · 1216 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Drumgownagh claims it’s a shortcut, but it’s just four field banks meeting on a hill. A circular feature that nobody can actually see or explain. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Letterfine is stuck in a feud with two families over who owns the best view of the canal. The masonry is so good it could frame a painting, but the neighbors can't agree on the angle. Go in if you want to be caught in the middle.

Keshcarrigan Vocational SchoolCollege · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Keshcarrigan Vocational School holds the unofficial world record for the longest silence ever recorded in a classroom. The Georgian doors have been waiting for a student since the nineteenth century. Best enjoyed with a bag of crisps.
