Megalithic structure in Shronebirrane

In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing slope overlooking Loughanunaghan Lake. The remains consist of a single prostrate slab (c. 2.8m x c. 1m) most of which is covered by a layer of blanket bog. An exposed chamber-like area (Wth 0.75m; H 0.3m) extends (min. L 0.75m) under the E end of the slab, where there is evidence of further stones. Two slabs (0.95m x 0.45m; 0.95m x 0.42m) lie prostrate on the boggy ground immediately to the E. There are two smaller slabs, one upright and one leaning, near the NE corner of the structure. A standing stone-pair (KE111-019001-) lies c. 5m to the NW and a hut site (KE111-019002-) c. 5m to the W.
