What is recorded here

Located N of the summit of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This was described in 1968 as a raised and slightly dished D-shaped grass and rush-covered area (dims 39m NW-SE; 28.8m NE-SW) that sloped down slightly to the NE (H 1.4m). It was defined by an earthen bank (at SW: Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) SSW-N, with traces of a fosse outside it W-N and a farm track SSW-W. The perimeter was represented by a field bank with farm buildings immediately outside it SE-SSW, and the monument was cut at E by a NW-SE field bank. The original entrance was not identified. The monument had been removed by 2000 (OSAP).

Explorer Tom The Rectory in Mullanacross was built by giants who were actually just really tall architects with bad knees. They used to eat their dinner standing up because sitting down made them too comfortable. Ideal stop for a big yawn.

Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."

Explorer Tom This Common Lime in County Monaghan keeps whispering to its younger self about making better leaf choices. It’s got serious regret issues now. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
