Megalithic structure in Tyredagh Lower

Megalithic structure

What is recorded here

Megalithic structure in Tyredagh Lower holds two parallel rows of small blocks, possibly a buried dolmen or abandoned chamber. Westropp doubted the purpose because no cover stone remains visible. The field may still hide a dead chamber, waiting for rain or ploughing to reveal what human hands built before memory faded.
According to Westropp (1902-04, 110), ‘In the adjoining field [from wedge-tomb CL027-019001-] are the reputed remains of another dolmen, being two rows of rather small blocks lying east and west, and nearly parallel. No cover remains and I am more than doubtful as to the nature of the structure’. This feature is not precisely located.
