What is recorded here

A slightly raised, crescent-shaped area (int. dims. c. 71.6m NW-SE; c. 31m NE-SW) enclosed by a trench and low earthen bank which form part of the field boundary. Original entrance not recognisable. The site is known as 'Shane's Fort' and is believed to be the burial place of Shane O'Neill (local information). An earlier report (OPW 1969) speculated that the site may be a relatively modern landscape feature but noted that the field bordering the site from SE-S-WNW is known as 'The Caldragh' (CV020-081----).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV020-011

Children's burial ground in DagganChildren's burial ground · 51 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Children's burial ground in Daggan is called The Caldragh Field, which sounds like a fancy dog breed, not a resting place. It’s invisible at ground level, so it’s basically ghosting you. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true on my word.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DagganFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 719 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Daggan is having an identity crisis because half of it is just a modern bank now. If this were a person at a wedding, they’d be the uncle who left early to find the bar. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

DrumcalpinMountain / peak · 1248 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Drumcalpin is a Cavan mountain peak that feels like it’s rolling its eyes at the tourists, yet still offers great views for us.

Drumkeen House WoodlandWood · 1572 yd

Explorer Tom Drumkeen House Woodland is a wood in County Cavan, and maybe a very fancy owl lives right there in the house?

Saint Patrick's Catholic CollegeOutbuilding · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic College is actually just old Cullies House outbuildings pretending to be religious. The workers used to sleep there, so the Wi-Fi is probably haunted by lazy naps. Sit on a wall nearby if you dare!

Loreto CollegeCountry house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Loreto College is doing its best to hide the fact that someone added an extra floor later on. It’s a classic Irish country house with some nice carved decoration over a tripartite window. Bring your imagination and ignore the awkward addition.

European Beech1.2 mi

Explorer Tom European Beech in County Cavan would describe itself to a stranger as 'a very polite giant who likes naps'. It doesn't bark, it sighs. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine, which was mostly about getting my shoe stuck in a root.

RosscolganMountain / peak · 1.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom This second Rosscolgan in County Cavan might be a nearby spur or variant name, adding to the area's rich topographical tapestry.

Con Smith Memorial PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom The Con Smith Memorial Playground probably honors a local hero who loved watching children chase butterflies around County Cavan.

Explorer Tom Maybe this Children's playground in County Cavan has a slide so steep it defies gravity entirely.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Drumhome was an O'Reilly place that got destroyed before the 1500s, probably because they ran out of money or patience. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
