Really impressive portal tomb dating back to the early Neolithic period . The capstone having fallen to the side a bit , still just about sits on the 2 portal stones is estimated to weigh 50 tons , which actually puts it on the smaller side of the portal tomb on the island of Ireland . The site is really well preserved and managed and has a couple of parking spaces and some nice information on site about findings of an urn full of cremated ashes and a flint arrow head that was found here in the 1840s . Has anyone got any information on where the urn or arrow head is now ?

An even more impressive dolman than that at Legananny though a little harder to get to. Using SatNav? Then let it direct you! This small area has a more peaceful feel to it no doubt due to the trees and hedges and could be a good place for a rest and a picnic.

If you are really into dolmens, or you are passing by the area with your car, you can take the 10 mins detour to visit this.. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it, though, as there is not a lot to see that you cannot see in pictures, and there is literally nothing else in the area - the road is a cul de sac that ends in the dolmen

A hidden gem in the heart of Mourne Country yet not far from the main roads between Hilltown and Newcastle There is a rough road right to the dolmen so no need to dismount or walk.

One of the best ones I saw on my visit. Road goes right up to it so it's easy to access.
