On the map there is one tomb marked but the layout of the land gives the impression that there may in fact be two. Perched on the high point of this low hill these mounds appear complete and un-robbed for the stone. I do not know if they have ever been excavated. Probably not.

After following the signs for Tornant Graveyard from Dunlavin I found that the track to the graveyard is a very good place to see the passage tomb from. When viewed from this side the mound really does stand proud of the ridge its on. It was a very cloudy and dull day so the views to the Wicklow Mountains wasn't very good, but looking west I was able to make out Brewel Hill, where I was heading to later on.

From Dunlavin take the R 412 south. Take the first right and then right again. The tomb(s) are opposite a farm on the right just befor the brow of the hill.
The National Museum in Dublin has a decorated stone from a passage tomb that originally came from Tornant Lower. There are no traces of this tomb now.
