What is recorded here

Just off the S end of the NE shore of the triangular Lough Donogher (max. dims c. 700m NW-SE: c. 500m NE-SW), which has its apex at NW. A small island (diam. c. 5m) is depicted only on the 1909 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Some quernstones from Lavareen townland, probably from this feature, were acquired by the National Museum of Ireland (Lucas 1957, 132). However, there is no visible evidence of a crannog in this area of Lough Donogher.

Gortachoosh National SchoolSchool · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Gortachoosh National School is a former school that probably saw a poet fall in the ditch next door. The slate roof and sash windows are original, which is rare these days. Get a photo with it before it rots away.

Saint Columba's Church (Drumreilly)Church/chapel · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Columba's Church in Drumreilly would teach history by pointing at its own stonework and saying 'look how fancy this is.' It’s got cast-iron gates that look like they’re guarding a secret party. Stand there long enough and you’ll feel properly educated about arches.

IndicatedGraveyard · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ardunsaghan means 'High Place of the Ghosts' or something equally terrifying, I think. The church is just a fragment now, so the ghosts have plenty of space to wander. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom European Yew has a bird that refuses to leave because it’s the only thing keeping it company. It’s an ancient tree that looks like it’s holding up the sky with one arm. Go in good boots and better humour.

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Leitrim remembers when a local priest lost a bet right under its branches. He owed a pint and swore he’d never come back, but the tree saw him every time. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
