What is recorded here

Davies (1942, 30) recorded a circular habitation area (diam. 7m; H 0.2m) defined by a few oak piles and branches capped by earth and stones, on an island in Lough Inchin, c. 40m from the shoreline. An occupation layer of greyish sand (D c. 0.3m) containing charcoal and burnt bone, was found at the centre of this deposit, with yet another layer below this comprising a patchwork floor of twigs and small boughs of oak.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV020-013

Fairy fort / ringfort in Killygowan (upper Loughtee By.)Fairy fort / ringfort · 914 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Killygowan has no description, which is very rude for a ringfort. It's probably up to something or just hiding from the rain. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you because it can't be bothered to speak at all.

KillygowanMountain / peak · 1.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Killygowan is a Cavan peak that sounds like it’s giggling, inviting you to explore its windswept ridges and hidden valleys.

Sandy RowWorker's house · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Sandy Row, Farnham, County Cavan: A terrace of former estate workers’ houses with original casement windows. Someone wrote a bad poem about this spot once. Go look at the western two houses; they’re the stars of the show.

water pump1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Water pump in Drummullan looks like it wants to buy a yacht if it won the lotto. It’s sitting near the crossroads judging everyone who walks past with dry hands. Make a wish on it.

Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 1.3 mi

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

The Walled GardenGarden · 1.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom The Walled Garden in County Cavan feels like a secret room where the flowers gossip about the outside world's silly fashion choices.

Children's playground1.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom I suspect this Children's playground in County Cavan is the favorite spot for local squirrels to nap.

Pedunculate Oak1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cavan has a retirement plan involving becoming a very expensive bench in a garden centre. It’s thinking about the future while you think about lunch. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse, like where the local council put the money.

Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Clogh Oughter Castle sits on a tiny island in Lough Oughter, looking smug while de Lacys try to conquer Breifne. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex.
