In a heavily overgrown area immediately N of farmyard and farm buildings with ringfort (LI006-038----) located 157m to the E. The earthwork is depicted as a non-antiquity on the 1838 OS 6-inch map where the outline of the enclosure is indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. On this map the monument is shown as a circular-shaped enclosure the interior of which has been planted with trees which suggests that this may have been a post-1700 tree-ring rather than that of a ringfort. The 1897 edition of the OS 25-inch map indicates a circular-shaped area (approx. int. diam. 50m) defined by a scarp. The poorly preserved, scrub-covered monument is visible today on the Digital Global orthoimage taken 2011-13 with modern farm buildings and silage pit standing in S half of the enclosure. Outline of poorly preserved monument is partially visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 19/11/2019.

Hachured - IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 545 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Grange Lower would post a selfie with its bank and caption it 'living my best life'. It’s basically a circle of pure, unadulterated grassy confidence. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Outlined, 125 ft. odMound · 664 yd

Explorer Tom 125 ft. od in Grange Upper is now just a gravel parking lot, so any dance held there definitely went too far and got paved over. The topsoil is gone, leaving nothing but a memory of a circular area that used to be something important. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Ballyclogh MillsMill (water) · 1178 ydBallyclogh HouseHouse · 1200 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyclogh House has an imaginary twin across the sea that is constantly texting it selfies, but they never meet. It’s just standing there looking fancy with its limestone piers, pretending it doesn't miss its sibling. Pretend you're a lost agent on a mission.

Jackie PowerMemorial · 1.0 miCastle Troy (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Troy would ask Saint Patrick to bless its foundation stones. It stands on the Shannon bank, having survived since 1197 without breaking a sweat. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Abington has a retirement plan involving just standing there on a ridge and doing absolutely nothing. It sits right next to the river but ignores it completely, which is rude. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
