I took the advice that someone had added to the sign by the roadside and donned my boots, then off I set following the white-topped posts. We have it so easy sometimes.
This site is not just a wedge tomb, but a wedge tomb inside a stone circle. Amazing!
The stone circle is an odd one. Most of it is formed with low stones, as you'd expect in Tyrone, but one stone is 1.6m tall.
The wedge tomb is well defined and retains its rear roofstone. The rear section of the gallery, which was flooded at the time of my visit, is separated from the front section (a portico?) by a very nice septal slab.
Quite a lot of cairn material remains around the tomb and a nice little sign illustrates its layout. With a bit of effort you can trace the tomb's kerb in the undergrowth.
