It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drummanduff has been quarried away on one side. The mother-in-law who designed it was not subtle about boundaries.

DrummanduffMountain / peak · 732 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Drummanduff in County Cavan might be a peak that is always ready to take a nap under its own shadow.
DrummallaghtMountain / peak · 758 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom There’s another Drummallaght in County Cavan, and I suspect they are just sharing the same very large, rocky personality traits.
Assan BridgeBridge · 1587 ydExplorer Tom Assan Bridge is at a junction where two roads meet, and it looks like it's judging both of them for being so messy. The rough faces contrast with the cut arches, which is just a fashion statement from another era. Watch out for the unsympathetic additions on the north side!

Billis GrangeHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Billis Grange in Drummallaght has projecting bays and decorative elements that make it look like a movie set. It sits across from the main road with extensive parkland, so it’s very photogenic. Bring the good camera and some snacks!

Cavan County MuseumMuseum · 2.7 miExplorer Tom The Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff is an excellent place to delve into the local history of County Cavan.
European Yew5.9 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Cavan got the Vikings completely lost looking for it; they ended up in France by accident. It’s that kind of confusing presence. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true, because who has the energy to fact-check a tree?
