What is recorded here

Visited by Seán Ó Nualláin in 1966 in response to report of a 'Dolmen' and 'Grave' in Ballywilliam Wood. The 'Grave' lies 20m SW of the 'Dolmen' (OF039-030----) at the eastern edge of Ballywilliam Wood. S Ó Nualláin stated that the 'Grave' may be an artificial (or partly artificial) structure and that excavation would be necessary to establish its true nature. Visited by E. Cody on 16 August 1995. It is clear that this is an artificial structure of a megalithic nature and may well be a megalithic tomb. Plan of monument in Megalithic Survey field book for Offaly/Kildare/Laois. Information from E. Cody, 26 January 2010. Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 27 January 2010
