Another of the Waterford tombs that has a huge wedge shaped passage and chamber that are almost one.
Three roof stones remain on the passage and chamber which is formed by 10 orthostats, which are very low. The kerb stones only remain on the west end at the rear of the passage. The passge and chamber are around 6m in length when taken as a whole and the chamber is about 2m wide.
The whole site looks like a prehistoric skeleton lying on the end of a small promontory where it was deposited perhaps by the retreating ice sheets.
Despite being incomplete it is a wonderous tomb and well worth a visit.

After showing my wife Harristown (County Waterford) I wanted to come back here and show her another one of Waterford's undifferentiated passage tombs. Lacking its kerb, but having all its roofstones, this tomb is an ideal site to see after visiting Harristown (County Waterford), which only has two roofstones in place, but has a very good kerb.

From Tramore take the R682 north. At the third crossroads turn left continue for nearly 3km until you come to a tarmac track on the left. Opposite is one of Waterfords little dolmen signs. Head up this track until you come to a weighbridge. The tomb is behind this.
