This was a pleasant surprise. I was stumbling through the marshes towards Coumaraglin NE circle and chanced upon this low cairn. I had seen it marked on the map but in the fog did not expect to see it.
The cairn itself is very low and when I walked over it I was very surprised to see a large partially open double kist in the center. One chamber is totally exposed and measures over 1m square and the other (slightly covered) one about the same but is at least 1m deep.

With a clear day I realised that there's so much more to this site than I could see on my previous fog-bound visit.
About 75m to the west of the cairn there is a standing stone. This is about 1m tall and square-topped. A line from the cairn through this stone extends westward towards the Knockmealdown Mountains.

I will not include directions for these sites. If you wish to find them then I recommend a good compass and an OS map. Even better a GPS.
