Location of Tomb and Stone Circle marked by arrows.

This dolmen is located at the end of a boreen. From experience, don't try to drive down it.

The site is well signposted (something of a rarity in Ireland)

 

 

 

The stone circle used to be obscured by trees and furze. It's presence was not even known to the landowner until a retired Garda from Galway turned up some years ago and asked to search for the circle on the (then covered) hill.

He found it and returned later with a billhook and asked if he could clear the undergrowth from around the circle. The farmer had no problem with that proposition, or indeed clearing anything else off the hill either.

The circle attracts a small number of visitors each year, mainly foreign.
