This one is signposted, but I don't know why! It is embedded in a hedge, imprisoned behind barbed wire.

It is all leaning very heavily and the capstone might just be held in place by the hawthorns. The portal stones are about 1m tall and both lean. The capstone is an unusually flat slab, that is much wider than the tiny tomb.

Still, it amazes me that this site is signposted and that somewhere as special as Ballyrenan (County Tyrone) isn't. The mind boggles!
