Megalithic structure in Tullequane

Megalithic structure

What is recorded here

In grassland, situated on a S-facing slope of rising ground in upland region with good views from E through S to W, higher ground to N. According to OPW correspondence (July 1938) within an enclosure (TS054-020001-) there was 'a large stone with smaller stones near by which may have been a dolmen'. No visible remains of any megalithic structure associated with this enclosure, probably destroyed when the enclosure was levelled. Field boundary running NW-SE which intersected the enclosure on its NE side has been removed and monument was probably levelled when field boundary was being removed. Field boundary and upstanding enclosure visible on aerial photograph in 1974 (GSI S. 578/7). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
