What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a small E-W ridge that is known as ‘Shane Hill’. An aerial photograph (CUCAP: AHM 12) shows a small rectangular enclosure (dims c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) defined by a bank and outer fosse on top of the hill. It has since been removed, but It may have been a small moated site.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Brannockstown once hosted a dramatic argument between two ghosts over a fence post. The chapel is gone, but the drama remains trapped in the walls. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Ring-ditch in Brannockstown has had so many names that it just calls itself 'The Circle' and lets everyone else sort out the paperwork. It’s ten metres across and sits on a gentle slope, looking unbothered by history. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom Dangan Castle thinks Dublin tourists are all wind and no substance because they never stay long enough to appreciate the quiet. It’s been passed down through families so many times it probably has three different surnames in its head. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
