Remoteness and the fact that it's not actually in 'The Burren' proper make this a little visited tomb. These facts also make it quite wonderful. It is a genuine Burren style portal tomb, sitting on the craggy limestone plateau and is over 3m tall.
The 4m x 3m capstone rests on three slabs that form the chamber, which is open to the front. Drystone walling can still be seen in between the slabs.
It is not totally unvisited however, as testified to by several initials carved within.
Stretching back in an easterly direction are the remains of the cairn. This is some 25m in length and tapers to a fine point. A good view ot the front is obscured by some trees that have been left to grow in front of it.
I was going to head over to Poulnabrone after here but I was very content with seeing just this fine example today.
