This took some finding I'll tell you! I was about to give up on it when I saw the roof stone through the gorse, which is flush with the ground.

It would appear to be a kist of the Linkardstown variety from what I could see when peering under the main stone.

It is quite obvious why this paraticualr stone was picked for the top from the lovely big solution pit in its centre.
