As I approached this tomb from the next field all I could make out was a mass of long grass and brambles. When I reached it all I saw was a mass of long grass and brambles. When I looked at it from the other side I was pleasantly surprised though. Not overwhelmed, but at least there was something there.
A single roofstone, 1.8m long, rests on low wall stones. The walls continue beyond the roof and the gallery would have been about 6m long.

_I'm not sure what brought me back here - I think I'd simply forgotten that I'd visited it, but I was passing and so wandered up the hill. Perhaps this is because I had the wrong name for the site and now know its real name - it is not Cappakea, but Ardataggle.
The undergrowth was a bit less intrusive this time and I think the view was clearer. Slightly south of west, the direction in which the tomb faces , a wide low plateau-like hill hogs the horizon. This is in Ballycar South, but the hill appears to have no specific name.
The tomb itself sits on a northward facing spur at the northeast end of a long, low ridge. To the north west is Knockaunnamoughilly and Seefin where the two tombs at Gortacullin (County Clare) and Knockshanvo (County Clare) are located. To the north is the elegant cone of Lackareagh Mountain.
