What is recorded here

This passage tomb and its adjacent companion (DU025-001001-) are located on the crest of Montpellier Hill, just SE of a ruinous hunting lodge called the Hell Fire Club (DU025-001003-). The monument enjoys panoramic views N and E with those to the S and W somewhat restricted by forestry. These passage tombs are part of a cluster of passage tombs situated largely along the N and W perimeter slopes of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains. All that survives of this monument are traces of a denuded cairn topped with a trigonometric station (diam. 18m) (Herity 1974, 257; Price 1942, 66 Healy 1875, 1-19).
