For some reason this is not on the OS maps, but it is so well worth finding. It must be one of the cutest tombs around. Other pictures of this site on the web appear to show a much different dolmen and so this one may have been rebuilt at some point.
It sits prettily beneath a tree and is a very low structure with much of its cairn intact (or is that field clearance?).
As pretty has they come. But probably not too genuine in its appearance.
As this was one of the first places I visited in my neighbourhood I decided to pay another visit and get some spring time pictures.

From Enniskerry follow the Glencree Road. After just under 1 km you will come to a closed village shop on the left. Park here. Walk down the road away from Enniskerry until you see a track on the opposite side of the road next to a ruined gatehouse. The dolmen is about 300m down this track.
