What is recorded here

In Tooreena, a ruined stone gallery cuts through flat bogland, its western mouth sealed by a massive slab while an inclined marker leans within the open eastern end. The structure defies easy classification, preserving only a narrow chamber where forgotten lives may have been tucked away before the roof collapsed. It remains a stark, broken threshold on the landscape, waiting for someone to interpret the purpose of its mysterious leaning stone.

On flat, reclaimed bogland to ESE of Tully Cross. The monument, in ruins, consists of a gallery (L c. 3m, Wth c. 1.1m) aligned WNW-ESE. The W end of the gallery is closed by a large stone set outside the ends of the side-walls. An inclined stone of unknown function stands within the open E end of the gallery. Two large slabs, probably displaced roofstones, rest on the monument at NW. The remains are insufficient to permit classification.
