Motte: dunamoy moat in DunamoyMotte: Dunamoy Moat · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Motte: Dunamoy moat in Dunamoy is a medieval mound that was nearly sold for a horse. It’s still standing there like a very confused pile of dirt. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Big CollinMountain / peak · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Big Collin has a distinct knoll at its summit, possibly a grassed-over cairn for your discovery.
Multiperiod Church & Graveyard with Well: Rath Sithe, Rashee, or Rassci in RasheeMultiperiod Church & Graveyard with Well: Rath Sithe, Rashee, or Rassci · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Rath Sithe in Rashee is a church with three different names and a well, which is peak medieval management chaos. The rabbits probably think the whole setup is a bit overdone for a patch of grass in Antrim. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Ulster BankBank · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Ulster Bank in Ballyclare has been counting coins since the twenties. It’s got that serious face, but I bet it just wants to be a bakery. Bring biscuits, because every good banking story needs a sweet ending.

It’s proud of its connection to St. John of Jerusalem, which sounds fancy. Have a wander and a wonder.
