What is recorded here

Situated in upland region, in pasture with good panoramic views in all directions, view of Galtee More to the SW on a clear day. Good views of Wedge tomb (TN039-009) located 670m to N. A roughly rectangular chamber, 1m long by 0.85m wide and 0.3m high at the open SW end formed by four low upright stones with a large capstone (H 0.55m; L 2m; Wth 2m) sitting on top of the side stones. A second capstone may be a displaced roofstone from the SW end of the chamber. Not clear whether this is a megalicthic tomb or not however the arrangement of the capstone sitting on side stones forming a chamber suggests that it is a possible megalithic structure. It also has an impressive siting in the landscape with fine panoramic views of hilltops within this mountain region. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
