Burnt mound in Tullymongan LowerBurnt mound · 439 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tullymongan Lower’s burnt mound sat by a lake that has since silted up completely. It was made of shattered, burnt stone and had no trough, so it’s like a fireplace with no fire left in it. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard from all those dry years.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Townparks (cavan Urban District)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 460 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Townparks was once home to Jacobites, who probably drank too much and forgot where they parked their horses. It's not visible at ground level now, so it's playing the ultimate game of hide-and-seek. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 516 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Townparks has been replaced by a fair green, because who needs history when you have bouncy castles? Probably an O'Reilly place that got tired of being serious. Count the crows, then count again.
