Shantemon or 'Fionn mac Cumhaill's Fingers', Co Cavan This hilltop alignment is situated on a natural shelf with long views east. None of the stones are over 6ft high but they are all quite bulky. The site is reached via a steep and tricky path up the hillside from the road, where the alignment is signposted as 'Finn McCools Fingers'.

Bawnboy Workhouse: In 1853, just after the Great Famine, a workhouse was opened in Bawnboy. The Irish dreaded these places as they were seen as harsh, strict and unfriendly places, filled with the sick and the starving. Although the workhouse shut in 1921, the chapel there was still used by locals until 1979.
