It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Kilnavert has a hole on top that used to hold wine during Penal times, which is wild.

BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 127 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Barrow in Kilnavert is a raised circle on a drumlin ridge with an entrance that's been lost to time or bad landscaping. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she'll probably say it looks like a giant's donut left out in the rain.
farm house252 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Kilnavert is a traditional thatched hearth-lobby plan with an outhouse under the same roof, which means the cows might be sleeping next to the humans. It sits on a gentle slope and looks picturesque, so if you’re into rustic charm, this is your spot. Have a twirl around the boundary; the trees are probably gossiping.
Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 274 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Kilnavert was designed by William Hague, who clearly liked showing off his skills. It replaced an older church with something far more impressive. Make sure you tip your hat as you pass.

LissanoverCastle, unclassified · 1661 ydExplorer Tom Lissanover is a tower that passes itself off as a castle with confidence. It was granted to Bryan McShane O’Reilly, who probably just used it for storage. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Common Lime1.3 miExplorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan has a name that really means 'The Tree That Judges Your Posture' if you ask me. I made that up, but it feels right given how straight its trunk is. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about your life choices.
Sycamore1.4 miExplorer Tom This Sycamore in County Cavan was probably bought with a bargain that didn't quite stick. The bark looks like it’s still negotiating the price tag. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography, maybe it owes someone money.
