After saying my farewells for this trip to Anthony I set off for Fanagh Beg portal tomb and on the way passed this strange monument at the road side.
It is a large, wide wedge tomb whose massive roof slab has cracked into four pieces and fallen inwards. Beyond it are two small standing stones. To the east are two large slabs that stand on smaller stones which could be kists.
The lough-side position that this tomb enjoys is quite beautiful, especially n the late afternoon when I passed by. Again the field is bursting with young flags and will look wonderful when they flower in a couple of months time.

When I saw that this tomb is classed as a portal tomb in the Inventory I decided to come back and have a good look. I found this by accident on my first visit whilst driving home and hadn't really spent a lot of time looking at it, but I had always considered it to be a wedge tomb. I still can't see its portal-tomb-ness.
