Not indicatedCross-slab · 12 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-slab in Drumcondra is playing hard to get, hidden behind a church wall like it’s shy. Locals claim it was nearly sold off as a horse, which I find hilarious. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Saint Peter's Church (Drumcondra)Church/chapel · 17 ydExplorer Tom Saint Peter's Church (Drumcondra) in Rathtrasna would probably have 'Finally Got The Door Right' on its tombstone. That Gibbs surround is doing all the heavy lifting while the rest naps. Toast it with a cup of tea from afar.
The GlebeRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 67 ydExplorer Tom The Glebe in Drumcondra would probably win the lotto and buy a very big hat. It’s got those lovely timber windows that look like they’re winking at you. Ring your granny and tell her it’s still standing firm.
DrumcondraSettlement deserted, medieval · 92 ydComputer-made pictureMoatCastle, motte · 234 ydExplorer Tom Moat in Drumcondra is the other one, right next door, which is frankly embarrassing for both of them. The bishop refused to visit because he couldn't find the parking. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

European White Elm4.4 miExplorer Tom European White Elm in County Louth claims a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, complete with a lost crown nobody found. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting of its imaginary majesty.

CastleCastle, tower house · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Hatch's Castle in Townparks makes a creaking sound at night that sounds like sneezing. It is thoroughly modernised but still thinks it’s spooky. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Lebanon Cedar4.8 miExplorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Louth was saved by a hero nobody remembers who threw a sandwich at a lightning bolt. Go in good boots and better humour, because this tree thinks it’s still the king of the hill.
