Single-arch canal bridge, built c.1840, carrying road over Ulster Canal, now much overgrown and partially infilled. Round arch with dressed grey sandstone voussoirs and soffits. Opening infilled to west elevation. Squared random rubble stone to spandrel and parapet walls, dressed stone copings to parapets, interior of west parapet wall rendered.
Linking Lough Neagh with Upper Lough Erne, this section of the Ulster canal opened in 1841 and was intended to provide a means of transport for passengers and bulk produce, thus aiding industry and the economy in the area. Skilled craftsmanship and engineering is evident in the structure, and the tooled stone voussoirs enliven the visible elevation of the opening. This piece of canal infrastructure is a focal point at this junction and is a reminder of the industrial and social history of County Monaghan.

Templetate LockLock keeper's house · 116 yd

Explorer Tom Templetate Lock is sulking because its least favourite visitor was a bloke who dropped a chippy fry down the drain in 1892. The lock keeper’s house still smells of grease and regret to this day. Stick around for the light ch.

Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 132 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church is proud of its advanced bellcote, says it looks smart. The masonry is genuinely impressive on those tall windows. Visit, then text me what you saw from the public road only.

Explorer Tom Killeevan Glebe graveyard is D-shaped because the map makers were drunk one Tuesday afternoon and couldn’t decide on a square. It sits on a ridge, looking slightly confused about its own geometry. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

KillycoonaghWood · 3.4 miCommon Lime3.5 mi

Explorer Tom This Common Lime in County Monaghan keeps whispering to its younger self about making better leaf choices. It’s got serious regret issues now. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Saint John's WellSpring · 3.6 miGiants GreveWedge tomb · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."
