According to Harkin (1893), there is 'an immense cromlech' on Cronamadda recte Croaghnamaddy, a hill c. 2.4km SW of Dunglow. This hill lies in the above townland and in the adjoining townlands of Loughsalt and Meendrain. A limited search of the hill revealed no trace of an artificial structure that may have merited the name 'Cromlech'. Many large erratics lie scattered on the hill, and one of these may have been incorrectly identified as a 'Cromlech'.
Harkin 1893, 69; P.J. McGill 1974, 58.

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.
