Sunday, 1st June 2003

Just 50m away from Legalough (County Cavan), this wedge tomb is also pretty robbed away, but not as much as the court tomb. There are no roof stones remaining, but a near full set of walls are repesented, including some wide double walling.

The gallery is 6m long, 1.2m wide and faces towards the southwest. The outer walling spans 3m or so.

The tomb almost occupies the highest point of the spur upon which these two tombs sit and would offer splendid views on a clear day.
