What is recorded here

On flat, damp ground, 5m N of a stream, in the base of a small valley. Slightly raised, penannular feature (5.8m NW–SE; 5m NE–SW), defined SW–SE on the perimeter by a raised rim (Wth 1.8m) with a break or opening at SW. At E–S the inner curve of the raised rim is defined by a setting of low stones. The raised rim is highest (H 0.4m) and incorporates more stones at SE, where is survives at the base of a hawthorn bush, but elsewhere is appears as a low, broadly slumped sod-covered rise. It appears to be the eroded remains of a circular structure, such as a limekiln. There is a possible limekiln (SL022-022----) built into a slope c. 40m to NW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL022-025

Killanly Church (Castleconor)Church/chapel · 310 yd

Explorer Tom Killanly Church in Castleconor would ace any job interview because it’s robust, simple, and never misses a deadline. It’d tell them it has great gatekeeping skills and a solid window-to-door ratio. Why this place matters is that it doesn’t need a resume to look impressive, mate.

MoysdaleRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 473 yd

Explorer Tom Moysdale, the former rectory, once saw a vicar accidentally set the bow window slating on fire with a candle. It retains sash windows and curved slate details that survived that dramatic incident. Watch for any lingering smoke signals from the roofline today.

Rosserk AbbeyVisitor attraction · 1466 ydHawthorn1471 yd

Explorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Inishcrone Pier looks like it’s plotting an escape plan, possibly because it’s tired of being just a sign for people who don’t read. The first owner probably ran off with the last ferry and never looked back at all. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Battle of BallinaBattle · 3.9 miDolmen of the four MaolsArchaeological place · 4.5 miSt. Patrick's CemeteryCemetery · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom St. Patrick's Cemetery is bragging about surviving a storm so fierce it blew a cow into the sky, though I suspect that particular detail was added for dramatic effect later on. The grass is particularly green there, probably because the dead are watering it with their tears of joy at being remembered. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
