Children's burial ground in ColesgroveChildren's burial ground · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Colesgrove refuses to fall down because it’s holding its breath really hard. The cashel is just standing there, waiting for someone to notice its stubbornness and give it a compliment. Tell your mates you found it first.
Field system in ColesgroveField system · 207 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Colesgrove is just fields pretending to be something ancient while secretly wondering if they should become a car park instead. It’s got no record, so it’s basically a blank canvas for your worst architectural nightmares. Bring the dog, it’ll have opinions about the mud and probably try to eat a rock.
IndicatedCairn, clearance cairn · 731 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Lisnagloos has no information uploaded, so it’s a total blank slate. It’s a clearance cairn, which means someone threw rocks into a pile and called it a day. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
BarrowBarrow, ring-barrow · 779 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Lisnagloos is a smaller tumulus contiguous to the bigger one. It’s just a low rise, four meters across. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything suspicious or glowing.
CaveMan-made underground passage · 779 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cave in Ballylin East makes a low hum at night that sounds like it's digesting my bad decisions. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballylin EastFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 779 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballylin East has no surface trace left, so it’s basically a ghost with an underground passage. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Kilquain HouseHouse · 1495 ydExplorer Tom Kilquain House in Kilquain is being run by a very stern dog who checks every window for symmetry. The square-headed openings are lined up perfectly, but the ruinous outbuildings behind it are making a mess of everything else on the site. Get a photo with that grumpy guardian before he barks!
Saint Killian's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1610 ydExplorer Tom Saint Killian's Catholic Church in Ballymanagh would post a selfie of its carved bellcote with a hashtag. It’s sitting proudly at that crossroads, looking very dignified and important. Practise your Irish on the way over to say hello.
Strongfort Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Strongfort Castle was refurbished in the 1980s with concrete floors, so it’s now basically a modern flat with medieval pretensions. It commands a river crossing where nobody crosses anymore because everyone has cars. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn at the crenellations.
