Megalithic tomb in Ballysheen Beg

Megalithic tomb

What is recorded here

Ballysheen Beg in County Clare, Ireland holds an unclassified megalithic tomb, meaning its exact age and purpose remain unknown. The site is not yet described in the public Archaeological Survey of Ireland record, but the stones are real and the place belongs to County Clare. Whatever it buried or marked, it did so before modern measurement, leaving behind a gap large enough for imagination and a reason to watch the ground rather than assume it is empty.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
