Glennan HouseHouse · 911 ydGlennan National SchoolSchool · 940 yd

Explorer Tom Glennan National School has Y-tracery windows that look like they’re judging your life choices from afar. The stones are hiding messages about why nobody ever came back for lunch. If it rains, blame me for not checking the sky first.

Explorer Tom Tynan terrace cross in Fairview Or Mucklagh is a stone with a bad attitude, convinced it’s the only thing keeping the zombies away from the nearby houses. It doesn’t run, it just stands there and roars at the darkness. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Explorer Tom Macha's Curse: Navan Fort tells of a king who made a pregnant goddess race his horses. She won and cursed Ulster's men for his cruelty. I do like a victory, but this king made the very worst choice of opponent. The fort's earthworks are real; the race belongs to legend.
