This is Proleek dolmen's (dare I say it ... 'somewhat ignored') little brother, which is such a shame. Just 75m from the imposing dolmen this tomb has a gallery that is maybe 7m long and there is still one roof stone in place. Other probable roof stones lie scattered and broken around it.
The height is even along it's length and the stones are of a fairly regular size too. A lot of thought and consideration went into its construction and the magic flows from it.

I do love this monument. It's proximity to the portal tomb makes it a double pleasure to visit. As with the other monument the trees and hedges being so close by do detract from the site so much.

From Dundalk take the N1 north and then the R173 east. After just over 2km you will come to a left turn, take this and continue for about 900m. You will be driving alongside a small river. Keep looking out for a bridge crossing it to the left. Turn in here and head left upto some gates and park. There is a little horse gate in the top left corner of this area, walk through here and through the next one. Both the wedge tomb and the dolmen are right in front of you.
