Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Drumhurrin

Explorer Tom Shannon Pot in County Cavan is in a bitter feud with the rain. Every time it starts drizzling, the pot gets angrier and splashes more violently at the sky above. It’s like a tiny, wet temper tantrum happening every five minutes. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Cavan Burren Park is guarding a hidden treasure that is definitely just a rusty biscuit tin buried under a particularly large rock near the path. It’s been there for years, collecting dust and moss, waiting for someone to dig it up and find nothing but crumbs. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Explorer Tom If Burren walked into a chipper, it would order the lot with extra vinegar and complain that the fries weren't crispy enough, which is exactly how I imagine this peak behaves at social gatherings.
