| This fine portal tomb is located in pasture on a fairly steep south-east facing slope of a north-south valley, 100m west of the Annestown River and is marked on the OSI map as "Dolmen". The capstone, which measures 4m in length, 2.7m in width and 1.2m in depth, is supported by one portal stone. The other portal stone lies inside the chamber along with a side-stone and possible back-stone. The back of the tomb is resting on the ground and the internal chamber is filled with small stones from field clearance. |
