Labbyfirmore, megalithic tomb in County Monaghan

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a fairly low-lying landscape. A cairn (L c. 21m; Wth 11m) is aligned NNW-SSE. At N a sidestone supports a large displaced roof stone, perhaps representing a chamber opening to the N. Close to this, three set stones represent a subsidiary chamber opening to the W. The monument is unclassified, although it is likely to be either of the court-or portal-tomb classes.
