What is recorded here

Situated on the SW edge of a ridge overlooking the Derreen River valley to the SW. Circular flat-topped mound (diam. 19.8m; H 2m) defined by a kerb of small boulders continuous at the NW. There is a slight bank (H 0.6m) along the E edge of the summit and an access ramp at the N. In 1978 a short cist containing an inhumation and tripartite bowl were discovered here and donated to the NMI by the landowner (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 1, 663-6). Analysis of the human remains by Laureen Buckley (ibid., 666) concluded that they appeared to represent those of a young adult. Revised by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 24 July 2012

Explorer Tom Acaun Bridge in Haroldstown has five arches that are just showing off their granite abs. Its New Year's resolution was to stop letting water through, but it failed spectacularly. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the river below.

Acaun Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Acaun Church, Graveyard in Lisnevagh sits inside a D-shaped enclosure defined by a bank, which is basically nature drawing a circle around it. The river does the rest of the job for free, so no thanks needed. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Site of Castle in Haroldstown, Carlow, has no definite traces standing today. It would get 'Gone But Not Forgotten' on its tombstone. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent and moves to the big city.

Lisnavagh HouseWorker's house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom These worker's houses at Lisnavagh are now holiday homes, which means they’re full of people who think they understand history but mostly just want wifi. The hero who saved them is probably forgotten, so I’m naming myself. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
