As you walk down the field towards the two tombs you can see the portal stones standing proud above the protective dry stone wall.
As you get closer you start to see the second stone emerging from behind the other and then when you reach the wall you see the mass of cairn rubble that still surrounds this tomb to a depth of 50cm.
No capstone remains but the two portal stones and a rear jamb are still here to be seen.
These two marvellous tombs should e on everybody's list of places to go.

From Dundalk head north up the N1 towards the border. Take the first left after the island where it meets the R173 and then turn right at the next crossroads.Continue for about 600m and take the next right. There is an abandoned cottage on the left about 75m along, park here. To reach the tombs go through the rightmost gate and walk around the edge of the field to the bottom, heading towards the dairy factory. The tombs are just in front of this behind the drystone walls.
