Moydristan HouseHouse · 1313 ydExplorer Tom Moydristan House in Moydristan has an Ionic doorcase that’s giving 'I’m refined and I know it' energy. The attic windows are signed by a joiner from 1845, which is very artisanal. Bring your curiosity and maybe a tiny hammer to tap the wood.
Maguire's TowerBell tower/stand · 1690 ydExplorer Tom Maguire's Tower in Carrick East is sitting on top of a rock, looking down its nose at the church below. It served as a belfry until 1919, which feels like forever ago. Find the bell that rang so loud it made the clouds cry and never came back.

Portal tomb in CarrickacroyPortal tomb · 5.1 miExplorer Tom This Portal tomb in Carrickacroy is a small chamber entered from the north. Its entrance was formed by two portal-stones with a sill between them, quite a neat arrangement.

Granard MotteMotte-and-bailey castle remains · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Granard Motte would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'basically a long queue for nothing'. It's just a big mound pretending it remembers something important from the castle days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Moat of GranardCastle, motte and bailey · 5.5 miExplorer Tom The local sheep at Granard Moat rate it a solid four stars for grass quality. Richard de Tuit built it in 1199 to fight rebels, but now it’s mostly a nap zone. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
