    With views of the beautiful Carlingford Lough, this portal tomb is at the north end of a long cairn, once much larger than is now visible, originally extending south downhill for 80–90ft (24.5–27.5m).



    The gigantic granite capstone is estimated to weigh some 35 tons, propped up with portal and side stones to form this spectacular dolmen. Excavation early in the 20th century discovered bone and pottery.

      No place for parking cars near the site & so best visited by bike, but it must be left near the entrance because in order to access it one must pass private farm land with live stock.

        This portal tomb, which is over 5,000 years old, impresses with a huge capstone that weighs around 35 to 40 tons and rests on several supporting stones. Access is via a narrow country road; there is a small car park, but it is not always well signposted. The dolmen is on private farmland, but access is usually permitted.

        However, the paths to the dolmen are sometimes muddy in wet weather, so sturdy shoes are recommended.
