Visit Notes

Monday, 25th October 2004

After the bliss of visiting Rathlackan (County Mayo) a few hundred metres away this was a disappointment. All that remains are a few wall stones from the gallery that just poke through the peat.

These form a structure that is north-south aligned and about 8m long. The alignment points slightly to the east of Nephin mountain, which rises high over the horizon to the south.
