Near the top of a long and moderately steep SW-facing slope in tillage. A ringbarrow (KD027-004----) lies c. 130m downslope to the S. While named ‘Dolmen’ on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, the site comprises a pair of rough boulders; a larger S one (L 2.5m; Wth 2.5m; H 1.8m) partly resting on a smaller N one (L 1.6m; Wth 1.3m; H 0.7m). Although not accepted as a megalithic tomb by de Valera and O’Nualláin (1972, 101), they note that a human skeleton is said to have been found at the site. (Comerford 1883, II, 239)
