24. Georgian Church- Upper Badoney Parish  Church.
Badoney Church of  Ireland in the Glenelly Valley is typical of new Anglican churches funded by the  church’s ‘Board of First Fruits’. Known as the ‘tower and hall type’, they  followed the Georgian norms of simplicity and proportion and, as with this  one, tend to be located on or near to the site of the preceding medieval  building. Churches such as these invariably had a small extension at the end  to house a chancel added later. A medieval feature, these became popular again  in the Church of Ireland in the Nineteenth Century. The chancel to this  building was added in the 1860’s.

 7. Early Christian era -  Badoney Cross
Badoney  Church in the Glenelly Valley is another  early foundation reputedly associated with St Patrick and  also a medieval parish church. There is  little to see of this period in the modern graveyard apart from a marked hump  and loose rubble, however, a small cross which is considered to be from this  age was taken into the church for safe keeping in 1978.  Such features are often associated with  church sites and prefigure the more ornate high crosses of later generations.

3. 2500 years ago-  Clogherny Wedge Tomb

 An apparently  similar structure is Clogherny Wedge Tomb, which is located on high ground  between Plumbridge and Donemanagh. However, it is much younger dating from  around the Early Bronze Age of 2,500 years ago. It is surrounded by a ring of  standing stones which were shown in an excavation of 1937 to be linked to the  monument by cobbles. It may be that the stones are a later addition to the  site and reflect the interest of a later generation.

Half way up the Glenelly Valley, is an old three arched hump back bridge, indicated on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1830, of great charm, slowly being engulfed by vegetation

Plumbridge, at the base of the beautiful Glenelly Valley in Co. Tyrone. Two buildings in the heart of the village, beside the bridge, which add great character. Late Victorian, one is a pub, the other a shop.
