This lovely little tomb is located in a paddock next to a well-maintained farmyard. There was noone in when I called, possibly at the GAA match at the neighbouring ground, and there was a horse with a foal in the field. I wasn't going to risk mixing it with a protective mare, so I had to settle for seeing the monument from the yard.
It appears to be very complete with all its orthostats and roofstones in place. The stones are rough and could be pudding stone, but it's hard to tell from so far away.
This is a great thing to have right next to your house and it is also amazing that it is in such good condition. Usually these sites get trashed. This is another site to be revisited and hope to find someone in and no dogs in the yard.
