As of April 2025, I have an inventory of (extant or vanished) 3 ring forts, 1 square fort, 1 standing stone, 1 dolmen, 1 monastery, 1 castle, 1 Bronze Age settlement, 2 graveyards and a cross-inscribed pillar stone, all located in a small stretch of land running from the summit of Knocknagan to Haroldstown, drawing in a little bit of Tobinstown, Lisnavagh and the townland of Acaun …. throw in an underground stream, the River Dereen and the mysterious shapes in Bowe’s Grove, and the stage is set for yet more sleuthery.
