From the road you get a clear view of Brackenridge's Folly. Also known as Trimble's Monument, it is the mausoleum of George Brackenridge who is buried upside down at the base and in the centre of three coffins. He is was a barrister and landlord and it is said he had the tower built as his final resting place so that; 'the squirearchy who had looked down on him during his lifetime were compelled to look up to him after his death'.

Knockmany passage tomb, or Anya's Cove, is an ancient burial monument on the summit of Knockmany Hill, near the village of Augher in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is the remains of a Neolithic passage tomb and its stones are decorated with rare megalithic art. They are protected by a concrete chamber and mound, built in 1959 by the Department of the Environment, roughly resembling the mound that would have originally covered it. The stones can only be viewed through the entrance gates - there is no way inside possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockmany_Passage_Tomb There is a parking space at the bottom of Knockmany Hill - you can start from there - mostly easy to walk. There are no signs - but if you take the ways uphill you'll find the tomb.
