Clonlum South CairnArchaeological place · 733 ydExplorer Tom Clonlum South Cairn is located near Meigh, four kilometers northwest of Flurrybridge in County Armagh, as recorded by Colin Park for this archaeological place.
Round Cairn With Portal Tomb: South Cairn in ClonlumRound Cairn With Portal Tomb: South Cairn · 734 ydExplorer Tom Round Cairn With Portal Tomb: South Cairn in Clonlum is a hybrid beast, mixing portal tomb and megalithic cist styles like a confused cocktail. It was damaged when locals raided it for building materials, which is peak cheekiness. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Killeavy CastleCastle · 1129 ydExplorer Tom Killeavy Castle sits on the slopes of Slieve Gullion, a dilapidated beauty that was originally just a farmhouse conversion in the early nineteenth century.
Killevy ChurchesVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Visit Killevy Churches, where the newer eastern church offers unique perspectives and a chance to appreciate the area's rich religious heritage.
Explorer Tom Killevy Churches in Ballintemple has a round tower that’s seen it all since the 6th century. St Moninna is still chilling there, probably judging your outfit. Great spot to propose lunch, or maybe marriage if you’re brave.
Killevy Churches aonb SignVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Find the Killevy Churches AONB Sign at the junction of Church Road and Ballintemple Road, marking a special area of natural beauty.
Faughill MountainMountain / peak · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Faughill Mountain once had a fortified watchtower called Romeo Two One on top, monitoring the strategic corridors below.
Carn HillMountain / peak · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Carn Hill seems to double as a car breaker and transport yard, so watch out for odd vehicles here!
Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve GullionLegend location · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve Gullion has a boy, an attacking dog and the strangest job offer in Irish legend. Sétanta kills the hound, then volunteers to guard the smith's house himself. He certainly knew how to make an introduction. Nobody can point to the exact doorstep today.
Slieve GullionMountain / peak · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Slieve Gullion looks impressive even from Aughanduff, and I bet climbing it will give you a truly grand perspective on the area.
Explorer Tom Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion begins with a lost ring in a lake. Fionn dives for it and comes up an old man, which is a steep price for being helpful. If anyone asks me to fetch jewellery from deep water, I am suddenly busy elsewhere.
Ring of GullionRing of hills and protected landscape · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Ring of Gullion was Bandit Country, but now it's all about geo-tourism. It would tell a teenager that in the 1800s, everyone carried a sword and complained about the mud constantly. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
