What is recorded here

On top of a small, high EW ridge with good views. The N side of the ridge is truncated by a railway line and the S side by a road. A roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. The ridge is now planted with pine trees.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Cushinkeel thinks it’s too posh for the dirt road, so it just sits there judging your boots. It’s got that elegant stone look that makes you feel underdressed. Tell your mates you spotted a queen.

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Aghagower claims St Patrick consecrated it, but I think he just dropped his keys here. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot Our Lunch'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aghagower, County Mayo is fighting a losing war against the relentless rain and damp. It’s basically just a soggy square of stone with attitude and history. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
