The Mourne mountains are the stunning backdrop to this tomb, which is also known as Sidderyford Dolmen. The granite capstone is 3 metres long and 1 m high it rests on three support-stones, the tallest being 1.8 metres high. Viewed from all sides this tomb can look very different, which make it well worth a visit if you happen to be in Down.

Hi Tony. Was up there about 4 weeks ago. Its a nice tomb,especially with the mountains behind. Thats a good shot. Looking forward to hearing about another potential longstone in Co Kildare.
