What is recorded here

Located just off the SW shore of the subrectangular Annagose Lough (dims c. 500-750m NW-SE; c. 240m NE-SW) at the NW end. It is depicted as a large island (diam. c. 30m) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and is only visible when the water level is c. 0.5-1m below normal. This is a circular cairn (diam. 25m N-S; 25m E-W; H 0.5m) composed of fairly large stones. No timber structures are visible but a causeway (Wth c. 1m) of large stones leads SW to the shore.

Explorer Tom This historic building in Drummullan is a former mill that still holds onto its old machinery like grudges. There was a dance there once where the floorboards actually groaned out of embarrassment. Bring a flask and a story about why you’re really here, because silence is awkward.

Explorer Tom Killeevan Glebe graveyard is D-shaped because the map makers were drunk one Tuesday afternoon and couldn’t decide on a square. It sits on a ridge, looking slightly confused about its own geometry. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Common Lime2.6 mi

Explorer Tom This Common Lime in County Monaghan keeps whispering to its younger self about making better leaf choices. It’s got serious regret issues now. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."
