Formerly in pasture on slight S facing slope with excellent views from SE-SW. Now located in a clearance in centre of modern coniferous plantation. Remains consist of a raised subcircular-shaped flat-topped mound (dims. 2.2m N-S x 4.6m E-W; H 1.3m) defined by a scarp with partial traces of an external fosse (base Wth 3.25m; ext. D 0.35m) from N-E. Possible alteration to base of mound at S where stone facing or revetment of large rectangular slabs is visible. Stone revetment may be original feature of mound construction although this is uncertain. Large pile of stones to S of stone revetment. Grass-covered earthwork represents the remains of a collapsed lime-kiln that is depicted at this location on the 1840 ed.

Loughananna HouseHouse, gate lodge · 779 yd

Explorer Tom Loughananna House really hated the time a tourist called it 'just another house' in 1902. It’s got Victorian additions that are basically shouting at everyone to look closer. Perfect spot to practise your best disappointed landlord face out loud.

BarrowBarrow, mound barrow · 869 yd

Explorer Tom Barrow in Boher would win the county fair’s biggest mound category easily. It sits proudly by the river, minding its own business while the grass grows tall around its edges. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Fulacht fia in BrackbaunFulacht fia · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Brackbaun has an imaginary twin across the sea that sends it postcards about bad weather. It’s right next to a Bronze Age burial, which is a bit awkward for family reunions. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
