Sunday, 8th January 2006

There are three tombs in Killucan townland. This one is a ruin, I couldn't find the one 500m or so to the north and didn't look for the furthest north one.

This sad monument seems lucky to be here at all. A long spread of cairn rubble and large rocks occupy a small shelf in a north facing field. If there is any structure there it's hard to tell and many of the rocks could be field clearance. The axis of the cairn is north-south, so presumably the tomb was aligned this way too.
