The border cuts across a road and between houses in Killea on the Donegal-Londonderry county line. Killea was one of several protestant villages in eastern Donegal that would have been transferred to Northern Ireland, had the recommendations of the Irish Boundary Commission been enacted in 1925.
The Irish border snakes across the landscape cutting across around 260 minor roads such as this one. Many worry about how access will be regulated post-Brexit with those living along the border using services on both sides. A simple run to the shops could suddenly become a complicated venture.
A rickety fence marks the division between Northern Ireland and the Republic. The donkey is in the North. The shed in the South.
Swans cross the border that cuts Lough More in half. The waters of the Lough are reputed to be the purest in the country, while it is also famed for being the burial place of the legendary ‘Shane Bernagh’, the rapparee who ‘robbed the rich to feed the poor’ in the three counties - Monaghan, Tyrone and Fermanagh. Betrayed by one of his own, he was eventually tracked down and killed, with his body being thrown into Lough More.

A stream clogged by weeds demarks the international boundary in the Drummully Polyp. The Polyp is an enclave about seven miles long and three wide surrounded by Fermanagh in the the North that is connected to the Republic by a 110 metre stretch of the River Finn. Ascribed in the 1920s to "some long forgotten feud between petty kings", the Clones-Cavan road, which cuts through the area, crosses the frontier four times in seven miles.
The border passes through the middle of a farmyard dividing sheds, outhouses and the farmhouse across an invisible divide separating County Lough and Newry. Basic farm subsidy payments under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy have been a lifeline for many farmers. Post-Brexit, the NFU argues that livestock farmers will have lost up to 80 percent of their income by 2024 under the UK's current alternative plans.
