What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll that is located towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. It is represented as a large embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 65m) on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a large subcircular enclosure (dims c. 60m x c. 55m) defined by a field bank on the 1908 edition. This is a large grass-covered area (diam. 56.5m E-W; 56m N-S) with some rock outcrop defined by a slight earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 3.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) with some bushes and an external stone facing. There is no visible fosse but there is an entrance break in the bank (Wth of base 1.8m) at ESE. Although there is no evidence that it was planted with trees it could be a landscape feature.

Our Lady of Mount CarmelChurch/chapel · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Our Lady of Mount Carmel is showing off its 1858 muscles because it replaced an older church from 1787. It’s got that fancy tower-like breakfront thing, which sounds like a muscle car. Take a selfie with it before it starts charging admission.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Dunaree is showing off its Victorian Gothic stonework like it’s trying to win a beauty pageant for churches. It’s got that alternating slate and stone look that makes it pop against the sky. Your move: go take a look and see if you can handle all that stonework finesse!

Horse-chestnut3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Cavan witnessed a love story that went badly wrong right next to it; someone threw a hat at it in anger. It’s still processing the trauma. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so you don't lose it like they did their heart.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Relagh Beg is walled off like it's protecting a state secret. The gate has a date on it, but I'd bet good money it's wrong. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
