Visit Notes

Sunday, 3rd October 2004

Like the nearby tomb, also in Killy Beg (County Fermanagh) townland, this one is in quite good condition. It is buried within the remains of its cairn and is aligned to the northwest.

The gallery is smaller than the other, though, just 3m or so long and 1m wide. The two stone of the fa?ßade still front the monument, but there is no portico. Set immediately behind these stones to large jambs define the entrance.

The backstone of the gallery is missing and there does not appear to be a slab dividing the gallery. There is a lot of the double walling visible on the northeast side.
