What is recorded here

Former millrace and culverts, built c.1785.
The survival of the mill race and culverts is of interest, as they act as a physical reminder of the power sources employed to drive mills in the past. They form part of a large industrial complex, which comprised of two mills and their associated buildings. This industrial complex was built by John Henry.

outbuilding19 yd

Explorer Tom Outbuilding in Tubride at Millbrook has gun loops it’s incredibly proud of, even though it’s just a mill shed. It thinks it’s a fortress, but it’s really just a box. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

mill (water)20 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Tubride was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he forgot to write it down in his diary. The mill wheel is still there looking dusty and disappointed with modern machinery. Pick a stone, any stone, and whisper a thank you to the water.

Enclosure in TubrideEnclosure · 1095 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Tubride is so small that a cow once tried to buy it from the farmer. She offered a bucket of milk as payment, which was actually fair. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast.

Enclosure in Crossdrum UpperEnclosure · 1138 yd

Explorer Tom Crossdrum Upper’s enclosure holds the unofficial world record for 'Most Boring Grass Patch That Pretends to Be History.' It sits on level land looking very smug about being barely twenty meters wide. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Mount FortuneMountain / peak · 1558 ydMoatCastle, motte · 1.4 miLoughcrew GardensGarden · 1.4 miEuropean Yew1.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Meath witnessed a love story that went horribly wrong right next to its trunk. The poor tree is still flinching from the drama. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Common Lime1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Meath would teach history by dropping leaves on your head until you memorised the dates. It’s got more patience than most teachers and twice the attitude. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

LoughcrewMegalithic tomb cemetery · 1.7 miThe Cailleach: LoughcrewLegend location · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom The Cailleach: Loughcrew says she made these cairns by dropping stones out of her apron as she leapt from hill to hill. I lose a few coins and get annoyed; she loses a whole skyline. The cairns are real, and that apron is wonderfully outrageous.

CastleCastle, motte and bailey · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Castlecor started as a bet between two lads in the pub about who could build the biggest dirt pile. They won, then forgot to mention it had trees growing out of it. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
