What is recorded here

Depicted as a large circular grove of trees and not as an archaeological monument on first edition of the OS 6-inch map. Not indicated on current edition of the OS 6-inch map. Woodland that has been cleared all that remains is the field fence at N and E. It almost certainly was only a copse or landscape feature of 18th-19th century date.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LA008-012

Saint Brigid's HospitalCountry house · 835 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Brigid's Hospital in Shaen used to be a posh country house before becoming a hospital. It probably wants to go back to hosting fancy tea parties instead of treating patients. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Saint John's Church (Coolbanagher)Church/chapel · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Saint John's Church (Coolbanagher) in Morett is throwing a bit of a Gandon fit. The local sheep are claiming it’s too fancy for their taste, which is rude but accurate. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Pedunculate Oak1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois says the seagulls talk about its terrible hair and lack of fashion sense. It’s not having a good day with the birds today. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Morett Castle (in ruins)House, fortified house · 1.9 miMorett Castle (ruins)Castle · 1.9 miGiant Sequoia2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Laois made map makers sweat because they couldn’t fit it on the page without squashing the mountains. It’s just standing there, smugly taking up all the oxygen. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Ridge graveyard would say it has great stability and long-term vision in a job interview, which is technically true for a hill. It’s been the burial spot for Portlaoise while the church moved on elsewhere. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.
