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.

Lisarrilly HillMountain / peak · 1210 yd

Explorer Tom Lisarrilly Hill holds a completely fake world record for being the hilliest hill in Monaghan, which is honestly impressive for something that doesn't even try. It’s got that smug, unbothered vibe of someone who knows they’re special without needing a certificate or any actual proof to back it up. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

MillviewMill manager's house · 1408 yd

Explorer Tom Millview in Drummullan was built for the guy who ran the mill next door, so it’s basically a boss house with extra steps. It’s got sliding windows that probably squeak like an old door in a horror movie, plus some fancy finials on top to make it look less boring. The porch has a balustrade that looks like it’s trying too hard to be elegant. Peek

Historic buildingOfficially recorded historic building · 1457 yd

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.

Roosky Castle (Site of)Castle, ringwork · 1556 yd

Explorer Tom Roosky Castle is in the middle of a feud between two families over who owns the best view of the lake, which is hilarious because they’re both standing on the same rock. It’s a ringwork castle that was a power centre for the Dartry McMahons, so it’s got some serious political drama baked into its very stones. The

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.0 mi

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.

KillycoonaghWood · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Killycoonagh in County Monaghan has the strong opinion of the local sheep that it’s overrated but they have nowhere else to graze so they tolerate it. It’s got that quiet, rural charm where nothing happens for hours and then everything happens at once, usually involving a lost cow. The trees are spaced out like they’re keeping their distance from each other. Go

Jaundice WellSpring · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Jaundice Well is guarding a secret that only affects people who forget to wave hello, so make sure you’re polite or else. It’s not exactly sparkling, but it has that mysterious, slightly damp charm that makes you wonder what happens if you drink a sip. The locals probably have a story about it that involves a bad decision. Find

Tomb HillMountain / peak · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Tomb Hill is basically the local sheep’s favorite spot for judging your life choices while they chew their cud in existential silence. They’ve seen it all, from the best to the worst, and frankly, most humans just aren’t up to their pastoral standards. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Saint John's WellSpring · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Saint John's Well claims to be a shortcut through history, but it turns out the path just leads straight back to where you started. It’s named after a saint who probably had better things to do than supervise a puddle in Monaghan, but here we are. Make up your own legend about why the water is cold and I'll swear

Giants GreveWedge tomb · 3.4 mi

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."

Rossmore MausoleumHeritage attraction · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rossmore Mausoleum in County Monaghan is all dressed up for an event that hasn't happened in over a century. It would definitely post a photo of itself with the caption 'still standing, unlike your ex' if it had Instagram. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions on whether it's scary or just fancy.
