Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh (o'reilly)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 393 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Garrysallagh has three banks and a causeway at the east, plus some stone foundations that might be a hut or just rocks. It’s definitely winning the 'most complicated dirt circle' prize. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LisnabrinniaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 666 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lisnabrinnia has a fort where the bank only shows up on one side. The rest is just shallow dirt pretending to be history. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh (d'arcy),tonagh (clanmahon By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 712 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrysallagh is split by a road into two unequal parts, which is just rude. It’s invisible at ground level, so you’re basically trusting the map over your eyes. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Lisnabrin HouseFarm house · 747 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.
The RockMountain / peak · 780 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.
Grave YardGraveyard · 945 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Mountnugent is attached to St Brigid's church and probably full of ghosts who hate small talk. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'really intense, no Wi-Fi.' Count the crows, then count again.
St Brigid's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 948 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.
Headstone in MountnugentHeadstone · 972 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.
Architectural fragment in MountnugentArchitectural fragment · 975 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?
Ross CastleCastle, tower house · 1.6 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.
RaclaghyMountain / peak · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Raclaghy in County Cavan might be a place where the land curves gently, offering a cozy spot to rest on a long hike.
Children's playground2.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom I suspect this Children's playground in County Cavan is secretly guarded by friendly, imaginary dragons.
