Doolargy HouseHouse · 417 yd

Explorer Tom Doolargy House hides a giant who only sneezes when it rains. The whole complex is untouched, which is rare and frankly suspicious. Bring sandwiches, they’ll taste better with local folklore mixed in heavily, trust me.

Explorer Tom Dolmen in Proleek has a ghost that’s too lazy to haunt it properly. The roof stone is massive and looks like it fell from the sky. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Trumpet HillMountain / peak · 1.3 miThe Round MountainMountain / peak · 1.7 miBattle of FaughartMajor battlefield · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom The Battle of Faughart happened here in 1318, and its least favourite visitor is definitely anyone bringing a picnic basket. Bruce’s army lost, so the ground feels a bit vindictive about it all. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Faughart MoundCastle, motte · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Faughart Mound is where a cow once tried to buy the whole place because she thought it was a particularly good grazing spot. She lost, but her descendants still think they own it. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Explorer Tom Kilnasaggart Inscribed Pillar Stone in Edenappa is Ireland’s oldest inscribed stone, basically the original influencer. If it were at a wedding, it’d be the uncle who won’t stop talking about history. Toast it with tea and move on.

Moyry CastleCastle · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Moyry Castle stands as a recorded castle in County Armagh, a timeless landmark that has surely witnessed countless seasons change across the local landscape.
