Megalithic structure in Loughsallagh

There is here, in rough boggy land, a large slab c. 2.5m by 2m by 1.5m thick deliberately placed in a more or less horizontal position on three points of outcropping rock. Two pad-stones are interposed between the base of the raised slab and the top of one of the pieces of outcrop. This arrangement outlines one side, and low stones set on edge in the bog represent the remaining three sides, of a rectangular space measuring 4.5m by 1.5m. The nature and age of this feature are not known, but it is not a megalithic tomb. Verling 1990, 126; RMP 1995, 77:25.
