Two structures were E of the major NNE-SSW boundary ditch (ME025-081----). An arc of a slot-trench N-E is centred on a large post-hole and the scarp of the inner edge of a slot-trench can also be traced at S (diam. c. 5m). If this was a small hut site it either pre- or post-dates another feature just to the E. The E structure has a large pit (dim. 1.3m plus; D 0.06m) at the centre with a lightly burnt base that could be a charcoal-making pit as it was filled with charcoal. A S-N trench (L 2.7m plus; Wth 0.6m; D 0.45m) extends S from the pit but the junction lay outside the excavated area. The combined pit and trench are enclosed by 16 post-holes maintaining a regular distances of c. 1-2m from them constituting the possible Structure 5.

Navan MoatOfficially recorded historic building · 125 yd

Explorer Tom Navan Moat in Moathill keeps getting winded because nobody remembers who Joselyn de Angulo was. He built a hill of dirt and called it a castle, and we’re still nodding along. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Mount RiversHouse · 164 ydNangle CourtMemorial · 1576 ydCastleCastle, motte · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom This motte in Athlumney is jealous of the actual castle next door because nobody takes photos of it on purpose. It’s just a big dirt cone that dreams of having a roof one day. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard from the river.

Liscartan CastleCastle, tower house · 1.6 miDonaghmore Round TowerHeritage attraction · 2.0 miRound Tower2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Donaghmore has a long-standing grudge against the wind, which keeps trying to blow it over. It’s survived centuries, so let the clouds have their moment. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

European Yew3.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Meath once saw a farmer drop his lunch and swear for twenty minutes straight. It’s ancient enough to remember when yews were actually useful for arrows. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

European Beech4.1 mi

Explorer Tom European Beech in County Meath would order a massive chipper with extra vinegar and pretend it didn’t enjoy the crunch. It’s got a very posh attitude for something growing in mud. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Meadstown would tell a teenager that the 1800s were just a long period where everyone died quietly and no one complained about it, except on headstones. The walls weren't there originally. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
