Enclosure in Drummany (tullyhunco By., Springfield Ed)Enclosure · 373 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Drummany is basically a giant earthy hug from the past. I bet a fox took charge here once and never left. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

IndicatedCrannog · 1495 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Crannog in Aghavadrin is a mound pretending to be an island because the lake got lazy and left. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Seipeal Naomh Treasa, Scoil Naisiunta Port LeamhchoilleSchool · 1606 yd

Explorer Tom Seipeal Naomh Treasa in Portlongfield looks like a pattern-book school that never grew up. The Farnham family funded it with lattice windows and an off-centre chimney, which is very avant-garde for its time. I bet the kids here learned to spell 'bored' before they could read.

DunaweelMountain / peak · 1638 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom I bet Dunaweel in County Cavan is just a peak that is always trying to keep its cool, even when the weather gets warm.

post box1749 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Portlongfield is still wearing Queen Victoria’s cypher like it’s a cool vintage accessory. It’s hiding a scandal from the 1800s that would make your head spin, probably about unpaid postage. Leave a love note for old Bessie.

Common Lime1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan is having a massive feud with the next village over something incredibly daft, like who planted the best daisy. It’s just standing there judging you for not knowing the backstory. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

PortlongfieldMountain / peak · 1.6 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Children's playground1.6 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Here, a Children's playground in County Cavan might be where local legends are born, one brave jump at a time.

Horse-chestnut1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Horse-chestnut has caught my eye in County Leitrim. I bet a horse-chestnut 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.

Killeshandra LoopWalking route · 2.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.

Explorer Tom Killeshandra Loop is a recorded walking route, perfect for a circular wander through the lovely local landscape.

Killykeen Forest ParkForest · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Killykeen Forest Park is named after a town, but it’s really just a big green hug waiting for you to wander into its depths.

Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Clogh Oughter Castle sits on a tiny island in Lough Oughter, looking smug while de Lacys try to conquer Breifne. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex.
