What is recorded here

A 'dolmen' enclosed by a circle of stones in Dalkey Commons (Price 1940, 125). It was destroyed in the 18th century during the erection of a martello tower (Lewis 1837, 148). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 6 July 2018

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.

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