Saturday, 26th October 2002

Sometimes one really does have to wonder why some monuments get signposted and some don't. Of the many spectacular tombs scattered around the Burren this has to be one of the worst!

It is terribly neglected and very overgrown. There is so little of the tomb to see, just a few slabs that were once the chamber.
