What is recorded here
Situated on a fairly level landscape and on the NW side of the road from Kilskyre to Clonmellon, Co. Westmeath. This well was not depicted on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map, even though it was noted by John O’Donovan (Herity 2001, 17) but it seems to have been defunct even then. The well is marked but not named…

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Kilskeer would bring a very serious hat to any party. It stands next to the church, looking down on everyone with mild disdain. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

European ash2.7 miExplorer Tom European ash in County Meath made a New Year’s resolution to stop dropping branches on cars but has failed spectacularly every year since. It’s got that look of someone who’s had too much coffee. Go in good boots and better humour.
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Barrow in Bellewstown in Meath is a tiny seven-metre circle on a ridge, barely taller than a toddler. A local hero once saved it from being used as a goat toilet. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Hawthorn3.7 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in Meath has thorns sharp enough to survive any zombie attack without breaking a sweat. It’s the ultimate defense mechanism, looking prickly but actually quite welcoming if you’re brave enough. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Earthen TumulusCastle, motte · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Earthen Tumulus in Patrickstown inspired a bad poem about a fairy queen who was actually just a very confused farmer. It’s been quarried at the top because someone needed gravel for their driveway centuries ago. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
