Visit Notes

Sunday, 25th April 2004

It's a long walk from Lugnagun (County Wicklow) to here, but, if you have the weather for it, then just the views alone make it worthwhile.

The cairn itself is a little disappointing. It is just 1m high and 5m in diameter. I believe that it was excavated, but I do not know any details of finds etc.
