What is recorded here

Located on a broad rise. A circular enclosure with trees on the perimeter (diam. c. 25m) is depicted on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map and traces of the perimeter could survive in a curving field bank W-N on the 1907 edition. This field bank is extant but there is no evidence of an ancient archaeological feature.

RaconnellCountry house · 525 ydRaconnell BridgeBridge · 660 yd

Explorer Tom Raconnell Bridge looks modest but has an elegant single arch that was engineered by someone who really knew their stuff. The bargain that built it involved a lot of stone and very little money. Have a nosey, politely, please.

DrumreaskeGate lodge · 1032 ydCornecassa HouseFarmyard complex · 1228 yd

Explorer Tom Cornecassa farmyard complex has been having a massive feud with the rain for the last fifty years straight. The gutters are still arguing about who won the latest downpour. Stand there long enough and someone might join in on the side.

post box1234 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Tullycroman would review its visitors as 'adequate but lacking in mail'. It’s just a little iron square that thinks it runs the whole postal service of the universe. Bring a notebook and a stamp.

Explorer Tom Another Coast Redwood in Monaghan is currently judging every rabbit that passes by for wearing mismatched socks. It thinks they’re all fashion disasters. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Giants GreveWedge tomb · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."
