What is recorded here

On the NW-facing slope of Redmount Hill. This roughly circular ring-barrow (42.8m NNE-SSW; 41.5m ESE-WNW), in fair condition, comprises a low flat-topped central mound encircled by a fosse and external bank. The line of the fosse is indicated by a darker band of vegetation. The bank has been almost completely ploughed out.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA100-108

Explorer Tom Redmount Hill House in Ballynamuddagh gave up meat for Lent, but kept all the grandeur. Landlord Pollok built this to impress rich farmers who were mostly broke anyway. Dare you to say hello to it out loud without sounding like a tourist guide.

Explorer Tom Fynagh House in Fynagh has a long list of former names that would make a lawyer weep. Landlord Pollok built this to attract rich farmers who likely couldn’t afford the heating bill. Have a wander and a wonder about why it looks so smug today.

Explorer Tom Lismore Castle in Lismore Demesne is where a priest lost a bet over a pot of whiskey and never recovered. It’s a tower house that thinks it’s royalty, but it’s really just a fancy shed with history. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to make it taste better.

Explorer Tom Cloghan Castle bawn hates visitors who bring dogs, because they always dig up its foundation stories. The wall is just waiting for someone to ask it something smart. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes. Do it boldly, I dare you.
