Visit Notes

Sunday, 21st April 2002

I was actually looking for the Onagh rock art when I saw this impressive quartite clonglomerate outcrop dominating the hillside above the Onagh portal tomb.

Its huge sloping face looks straight at The Great Sugar Loaf mountain to the east in a direct line over the Onagh rock art. A direct line from here over the Onagh portal tomb leads on to The Little Sugar Loaf.
