Megalithic structure in Cloghvoolia South — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Three stones on the north, one on the south, and a lonely marker further west still outline a chamber no wider than a person stretched out. The forest has strangled the rest, leaving only this thin skeleton on an east-facing slope above a narrow valley. It may be the last breath of a megalithic tomb, but so little remains that even certainty must back away.

In forest on E-facing slope, in headwaters of narrow valley of tributary of River Blackwater. Monument is very ruined due to forest planting. Remains of possible chamber (Wth c. 1m), aligned E-W, represented by three contiguous uprights (c. 0.45m-0.9m H) on N side and single upright (0.5m H) on S side. Further upright stone (0.4m H) stands 3.8m to W. Remains could well be last vestiges of megalithic tomb but insufficient survives to warrant acceptance.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
