What is recorded here

Situated on a low SW-NE spur in an undulating low-lying landscape. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’, and it is depicted as a tree-ring on the 1908 edition. It was thought to be a tree-ring (diam. c. 25m) defined by a slight earthen planted with deciduous trees.

water pump1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Water pump in Ardglassan was used for smuggling tea when the taxes were high. It’s got foliate decoration now, so it’s basically wearing a fancy hat to hide its sins. The cottages nearby are all pretending they didn’t see anything. Go on, count the windows and wonder about the past.

Explorer Tom Earthen Tumulus in Patrickstown inspired a bad poem about a fairy queen who was actually just a very confused farmer. It’s been quarried at the top because someone needed gravel for their driveway centuries ago. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom European ash in County Meath made a New Year’s resolution to stop dropping branches on cars but has failed spectacularly every year since. It’s got that look of someone who’s had too much coffee. Go in good boots and better humour.

Common Lime3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Meath would teach history by dropping leaves on your head until you memorised the dates. It’s got more patience than most teachers and twice the attitude. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
