Located c. 60m SW of the southern point of Turf Island in the sub-oval northern part (max. dims c. 1.4km E-W; c. 900m N-S) of St. John's Lough. It is depicted as a small island (diam. c. 15m) only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map and is only visible at very low water levels. This is a grass-covered earth and stone island (max. dims 33m N-S; 14m E-W) surrounded by reeds but there is no evidence of artificial construction. The crannog (LE024-012----) is c. 40m to the SE.

Explorer Tom Lawderdale House is run by a dog who probably owns more land than you do, given the five-thousand-acre estate history. The ruins of the chapel add a nice touch of spooky aristocracy to the scene. Go back in winter, it's a moody masterpiece when the fog rolls into the walled garden.

Curranmount HouseHouse · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Curranmount House has a hidden message in its stones if you squint hard enough and believe in conspiracies. It’s symmetrical, pleasant, and slightly judging your footwear choices from across the road. Ideal for a moody photo with a fake serious expression.

European ash2.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Ash has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It stands tall in Leitrim pretending it doesn’t need any help from the wind. Have a wander and a wonder.
