Hidden in the green landscape near Kilclooney, you'll find this spectacular Neolithic portal tomb, one of the most elegant examples of prehistoric architecture in Ireland. The enormous capstone of the largest dolmen balances with astonishing precision on its supporting stones and has overlooked the surrounding fields for over 5,000 years. Directly next to it lies a second, smaller dolmen, making this site a remarkable archaeological ensemble.

Take the grassy path to the left of the church to visit Kilclooney Dolmen. It is on private land so please make sure you close the gate on entry and exit and respect the megalithic burial chamber and surrounding land. It is largely intact and stands at nearly 2m high making it particularly impressive.
