In undulating pasture SE of a farm road, on the demesne lands of Cloghanarold House (LI029-126----) located 300m to N. The site is on a vantage point at the WSW end of a low naturally occurring ridge. Doondonnell Church (LI029-012----) lies 180m to NW and ringfort (LI029-013----) is 200m to SSW. The site is depicted as a circular enclosure or tree-ring on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map (ext. diam. c. 30m). It is not depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map or subsequent maps. It is not visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 nor on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Inspected by the ASI in 2007 when no surface trace could be identified. The location of the levelled site is visible on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 08/04/2015 and 28/06/2018. Could be the remains of a post-1700 landscape feature of Cloghanarold House as it is not depicted as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OS map.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Castlematrix is stuck in a feud with the road bridge next door over who has the better view of the river. It’s an old railway bridge now just standing there looking rusty and unimpressed by modern traffic. Bring your best dramatic sigh for the cameras.

Explorer Tom Ballyallinan Castle would cope fine on a reality show by doing absolutely nothing for hours. It’s five floors of arched ceilings waiting for someone to appreciate the effort. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

European ash2.5 mi

Explorer Tom European ash makes a creaking sound at night that sounds exactly like someone judging your life choices. It’s just a tree, but it acts like it has a podcast. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Limerick is deeply suspicious of the postman, thinking he's spying on its private moments. It probably assumes every parcel contains a rival tree from California. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
