Sunday, 7th April 2002

This is quite a disappointing tomb as most of it is missing. Almost the whole of one side has vanished and the roof stones lean on the outside of the remaining wall slabs.

It certainly would have been a very impressive tomb at some stage. It is built on a small natural rise with great views of the nearby lough.

The chamber would have been single and about 4m long.
