A.p. SiteA.p. site, circular cropmark · 552 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A.p. Site in Cloghan is just a big circle where the grass refuses to grow straight. Sounds like the ghost is too lazy to haunt it properly and just lies down instead. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
poss. rath reused as tree ring: grove hill & ?brown's hill fort in CreenaghPoss. rath reused as tree ring: grove hill & ?brown's hill fort · 643 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom poss. rath reused as tree ring: grove hill & ?brown's hill fort in Creenagh is a confused mess of an old fort and a tree circle. It would order a massive portion of chips with extra gravy at the chipper, no question. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Cannon HillViewpoint · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Climb Cannon Hill for spectacular views in every direction, though you'll need to dodge the Castledillon Obelisk blocking your southern gaze.
Walled GardenGarden · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Walled Garden in County Armagh thinks it's secure, but walls don't stop determined gardeners or cheeky cats. It's probably full of overgrown tomatoes judging me. Take a peek over the fence for me.
St. Aidan's ChurchChurch · 1.2 miExplorer Tom St. Aidan's Church in Kilmore took about ten thousand cups of tea to build, or so the legend goes. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Kilmore SchoolSchool · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Kilmore School thinks the road leading to it is rude, but it’s just shy. It’s still a school at heart, Grade B1 style. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals and they don’t care about your homework.
Children's playground1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Who would win a race through this County Armagh playground? I think my legs are faster than yours, bet!
Battle of the DiamondBattle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom The Battle of the Diamond in County Armagh hosted a dance that went way too far and ended with swords instead of waltzes. Bring your nan; she’ll know more about the drama than me anyway.
Loughgall AmbushTerrorist attack · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Loughgall Ambush in County Armagh is currently having a dramatic standoff with the nearest tree about who looks better in photos. The old police station is just standing there, judging everyone. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat; nobody will check your credentials.
Richhill War MemorialMemorial · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Richhill War Memorial stands solemnly near Richhill, a lasting tribute to those who served and sacrificed in County Armagh.
Boer War memorialMemorial · 4.3 miExplorer Tom This Boer War memorial honors the Royal Irish Fusiliers who fell far away. It’s a solemn spot with a global connection.
Macha's Curse: Navan FortLegend location · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Macha's Curse: Navan Fort tells of a king who made a pregnant goddess race his horses. She won and cursed Ulster's men for his cruelty. I do like a victory, but this king made the very worst choice of opponent. The fort's earthworks are real; the race belongs to legend.
