Grenagh playgroundChildren's playground · 91 ydComputer-made picture
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grenagh NorthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 282 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This one in Grenagh North was levelled but leaves a slight rise in the pasture. It’s 30 metres across, which is decent size for a ghost town. The maps show it clearly, so if you squint, maybe you can see where the bank used to be!
St Laghteen's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 530 ydExplorer Tom St Laghteen's Roman Catholic Church is plain on the outside but hiding a fancy reredos inside like it’s got a secret party. It thinks it’s very important because of that carving. Bring a pen to scribble down how much you’re pretending to be impressed.
water pump530 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Grenagh South would review you like a picky food critic. '3/5 stars, handle was slippery, water was lukewarm.' It’s a lovely cast-iron thing with artistic curves. Tease it gently and see if it pumps back.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 554 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Grenagh South has got a limekiln stuck on its back like a fashion statement from hell. I reckon it’s just trying to warm up for dinner. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans whatsoever.
GallánStanding stone · 581 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Grenagh South has vanished into thin air, leaving only a trace on a 1938 map and no visible surface evidence anywhere. The locals probably ate it, or maybe it just got bored of standing there.
Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 620 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Grenagh North sits between two springs. A low mound of burnt material in rough grazing. It’s like nature’s jacuzzi, but with way more soot and less relaxation. Get the camera ready for this one!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Grenagh SouthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 639 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This ringfort in Grenagh South has a massive bank, over two and a half metres high! It’s got an external fosse too, which means it was serious business. Don’t underestimate the power of dirt to keep people out. Check the ground before you step off the path!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LyradaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 809 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lyradane had a six-foot scarp before land reclamation in 1965. Now the northern part is a field fence and the south is just a low rise, which is basically an archaeological time capsule in a bad state.
Rathduff CreameryCreamery · 1093 ydExplorer Tom Rathduff Creamery in Rathduff is hiding its cream under a concrete apron. Built around 1920, it looks like a sturdy box that just wants to hug the road. Give the loading bay a big wave for me!
Fulacht fia in LyradaneFulacht fia · 1123 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulcht fia in Lyredaowen was found with a wooden trough, which sounds like a very sad bathtub from hell. It's just burnt stuff in a field now, but it used to be fancy. Take a mate and argue about why anyone needed that much hot water.
GalláinAnomalous stone group · 1194 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Galláin in Grenagh South is three stones that ended up in the wrong place by accident. They form a triangle, which is just a square with low self-esteem. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
