The 1km walk to this site was painful. The cobbly farm track, which I didn't think my car would manage (I was right, it wouldn't have done) really took its toll on me. To compound the pain after about 700m the track turns very steeply uphill!
The tomb is a nice example of a small wedge tomb, which if it was more accessible would probably be better known. The gallery is just 1.5m square and retains its single roof stone, which is supported by three of the walls. The door stone has been pulled forward allowing you to see inside. Well, it would do if the inside wasn't full of nettles!
There is a considerable amount of cairn material left around the rear of the west facing gallery. A cluster of high tress block the main view west, but standing slightly to one side of them it is possible to see across the valley towards Seefin and Knockaunnamoughly mounatins. It is also possible to see that the tomb is situated at the perfect spot for the peaks of the mountains beyond to sit nicely on the high ridegs of these.
