What is recorded here

According to Westropp (1902-04, 116-17), ‘Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary…mentions another [dolmen] lying on the hill of Tulla, of which I can find no trace, and which is not on the maps, though this, of course, disproves nothing’. In his account, Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 650) actually states, ‘On the hill of Tulla are the remains of an ancient abbey, and of a druidical altar’. Not visible at ground level. Not known of locally.

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
