At the E edge of a forestry plantation facing onto a public road. Not depicted as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. The revised edition of the OS map depicts a raised semi-circular shaped area (approx. dims. NW-SE 17m) with a rectangular shaped extension at NW. The earthwork is intersected by field boundary at NW and by a roadway from N through to E.

Ballygoghlan National SchoolSchool · 1063 yd

Explorer Tom Ballygoghlan National School thinks the local sheep are actually very sharp students who just haven't done their homework yet. The limestone capping on that chimney is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the ego here. Go on, count the windows and lose your mind.

Fort ShannonHouse · 2.6 miLawson's Cypress4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Lawson's Cypress in County Limerick would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still and looking unappealing. The undead would get confused about whether it was food or furniture. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Ballymacrinan BayBay · 7.4 mi

Explorer Tom Ballymacrinan Bay nestles near Moyne in Kilrush, a calm bay where the waves seem to slow down for a chat.

Carrigafoyle CastleCastle · 7.6 miCarrigafoyle Cas. (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 7.6 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigafoyle Cas. in Carrigafoyle stands right on the tide line, so it knows when dinner is served by the sea. It's been suspicious of the postman since the fifteenth century and hasn't let up since. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom St Senan's Well marks his birthplace on the duck field. Born in 488 AD and still making waves today. Check for any ducks hanging around, they might be his ancestors in disguise.
