This is quite a stunning Portal Tomb. The tomb stands to a very impressive height of three and a half metres, There are two capstones - a feature like other portal tombs in the South of Ireland. The main one is a massive horizontal slab twelve feet long and three feet thick. It rests on the portal stones and on the smaller capstone which covers the rectangular chamber.
Sad to report that this site is becoming very overgrown and coupled with the fact that the tomb has had a boundary wall built onto it - this all takes away from what should be a truly magical site. This should not put you off visiting this site as close by are Gaulstown and Ballynageeragh which make for a great trio of portal tombs that are a must see.
Looks stunning...hope someone cleans it up a bit before it gets too overgrown.
