Earthen TumulusCastle, motte · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Earthen Tumulus in Patrickstown inspired a bad poem about a fairy queen who was actually just a very confused farmer. It’s been quarried at the top because someone needed gravel for their driveway centuries ago. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
graveyard/cemetery2.0 mi
bridge2.0 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Oldcastle made a New Year’s resolution to stop missing the trains that stopped coming years ago. It still stands there looking dignified and slightly confused by the road traffic. Pick a stone, any stone, and imagine it’s a ticket stub.
LoughcrewMegalithic tomb cemetery · 2.2 miThe Cailleach: LoughcrewLegend location · 2.2 miExplorer 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.
Common Lime3.0 miExplorer 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.
European Yew3.0 miExplorer 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?
