Megalithic structure in Aghnameadle

Situated in slight hollow in undulating countryside with Ollatrim River 50m to NE and low hillock immediately to N. Field boundary running ENE-WSW immediately to SSE. Present remains consist of two upright orthostats their long axis aligned NE-SW standing 90cm apart with the remains of a large displaced capstone (dims. 1.75m x 1.4m x 0.45m) resting on E orthostat (dims. H 0.7m x L 1.17m x T. 0.3m) forming a small rectangular chamber (approx. dims. L 2.8m x Wth 0.9m). A second large recumbent stone immediately to N may be the remains of a collapsed side-stone or capstone. A semi-circular line of low stones immediately to N may represent kerbstones of a low mound (approx. diam. c. 3m). Possible remains of a megalithic tomb which has been partially destroyed. On the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map the possible tomb is standing inside an irregular-shaped grove of trees which have since been removed.
