| Burren - Cairn |
This site is marked on the OS map as a cairn, which is why I didn't visit it when I was last here. However, it is a rather large wedge tomb.
The gallery is about 10m long and 2m wide. A lot of the structural stones have been robbed away, but even so it's still impressive. There are two large entrance stones, some side slabs in thr front section of the gallery. The rear of the tomb is far more impressive with two large, but broken roof slabs in place. The largest of these is over 2m square.
Around the rear wall slabs there are a few small stones which may be very diminuitive double walling or possibly buttress stones. A few stones 3m or so from the rear of the gallery may be from the kerb.

Today the sun was shining making the scene very pretty with the dappled light coming through the trees onto the stones, but a pain to photograph because of the heavy contrast.
Sites like this are best visited in even ambient light if you want to take pictures or strong sunlight if you want a nice scene.
