What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a W-facing slope. This enclosure was recorded in 1990 as follows: 'In area of outcrop with dense scrub. Oval-shaped area (33m N-S; 26m E-W), enclosed by poor remains of earthen bank (H 0.3m); containing much stone on the W and overlain on E by stone field fence.' (Lavelle 1994, 65, no. 488). The enclosure has since been levelled during land reclamation. A slightly raised sub-circular area (diam c. 27m) is still visible, planted with conifers (pers. comm. Richard Crumlish 2010).

Neale HouseMonument · 1117 yd

Explorer Tom Neale House is a pyramid folly that thinks it’s way cooler than it actually is. Built in 1750, it’s just a big rock with opinions about tourists from Dublin. If it's closed, admire the shape from the outside only.

Explorer Tom Neale Church would cope fine on a reality show by just standing there and letting everyone else be dramatic. It’s a shell of a church from the eighteenth century that looks surprisingly chic. Pretend it's yours and act surprised.

Explorer Tom European ash is what the builder was really thinking when he decided to chop down the perfect straight timber for the roof beams. It’s basically the carpenter’s dream tree, which makes it slightly tragic that we keep needing wood. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
