Nursetown Beg Stone Row

This is all that remains from what must have been an impressive stone row, only two stones remain.
The standing one is over three metres in length.
You will find more striking stone rows in the area, but few easier to find as this one is right beside the road.

Maghera Round Tower and Church

This is the stump of a 10th century round tower (nearly six meters tall) which is in a field to the north of the church. It is said to have survived at its original height until the early 18th century when it was damaged in a storm.
The Church is hidden behind the modern Church and is thought to date from the 13th century the graveyard (which is being cleaned up) is well worth a walk around.

Dundrum Castle

This superb ruin stands very proud overlooking the village, with great views in many directions.
Dundrum Castle was founded by the legendary Norman adventurer John de Courcy following his invasion of Ulster in 1177.
Its purpose was to guard the land routes from Drogheda via Greencastle to Downpatrick.
The Castle had a colourful history that culminated in its sacking by Cromwell's army in the 1650's.

Dunhill Portal Tomb

This is one of the lesser known tombs to be found on the Waterford megalithic map.
The capstone which is about four meters by three rests on one portal stone with the other end on a pile of various small rocks.
This tomb is by far in the worst shape compared to other sites in the area.

It is very easy to find.  The tomb is located in a field beside a large farm (their may be a Bull in the field but I could not see him ).

Athassel Abbey

The Abbey is located a short drive from Golden Co Tipperary.
It was built in the 12th Century.
The Abbey was once the largest in Ireland and was built by Norman Lord William de Burgh.
The remains of the monastery are spred over four acres.
The Abbey was burned in 1319 by Lord Maurice Fitzthomas and again in 1329 by Bryan O'Brien.
Access to the site is very easy, a short walk from the gate into the field.  One minor drawback is a parking issue as the road that runs beside the abbey is very narrow.

Dolmen of the Four Maols

This site is known locally as the Dolmen of the Four Maols.
The tomb is not actually a dolmen but a Kist.
The site is located on the outskirts of Ballina town above the railway station. It looks like at some stage one of the side-stones has been removed from the tomb (first image) and left lying a few feet away.
This tomb is well worth a visit but prepare yourself for the OPW sign at the front of the tomb and various masts, fences and phone lines (all shown in their full glory here).

Carrickglass Portal Tomb aka The Labby Rock

The Tomb consists of a well-preserved chamber with a large capstone, weighing around 70 tonnes, and measuring 4.4m long by 3.4m wide and 2m thick. It rests on four supports. The two portal stones at the front have a blocking stone behind them to seal the chamber. It has not been excavated in modern times, but Lady Louisa Tennison of Kilronan Castle may have removed cremated remains from it in the middle of the 19th century. It is called Labby after the Irish word leaba, meaning bed, and derives from the folk belief that this portal tomb was used as a sleeping place of Diarmaid and Gráinne when they were fleeing Fionn MacCumhaill.

The best way to get to the tomb is via Cromlech Lodge Hotel, you walk up through a pine forest (arrows are marked on the trees telling you which way to go) and before you know it you are at this impressive tomb.
