Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A small circular hachured feature is visible on the 1923 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 25-inch map it is indicated and named ‘Gravel pit (disused)’. On inspection in 2003 this was confirmed as an area from which gravel had been extracted. The area is now occupied by a modern house and associated garden and yard.

Earthwork in LisluinaghanEarthwork · 260 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Lisluinaghan is prepping for the county fair’s most impressive lump of dirt competition. It’s got serious swagger, even if nobody can tell it from a hill. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Burial Ground784 ydComputer-made picture

Bernadette HouseHouse · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Bernadette House in Dough gave up meat for Lent but kept the shopfront until 1920, which feels like cheating. The name sounds like a saint, but the building looks like it’s just hiding from the rain. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Dough has been sitting there since 1890, looking like it’s waiting for a train that never came. It’s got a canted bay window that feels like it’s peering out at you suspiciously. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Doonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Doonmore Castle is destroyed but still taking up space in my head like a bad memory. It was nearly sold for a horse, which honestly seems fair given the condition. Go in good boots and better humour.
