Just up the road from the more famous monument at Poulnabrone (County Clare) and only 5m from the road, but hidden behind quite a high wall, this box-like tomb is worth stopping off at. The farmer does not appear to appreciate people visiting it, which is probably due to idiots treasure hunting around here, for in the 1950s a beautiful gold necklace was discovered not far away.
The gallery, aligned east-west and open at the east end, is 2m long and 1.3m square in vertical section. The roof, as with so many of these Burren style wedges is growing a fine crop of grass.

Having driven past Poulnabrone (County Clare), knowing that it would be very busy, I decided to bring Uta to this lovely little tomb that no one ever seems to bother with. The gap in the wall has been blocked up, so that doesn't help!
I was able to check out one of the other tombs nearby too, as well as spot the tomb at Berneens (County Clare) on the hillside above.
