Rumours have it that this is one of the finest tombs in the Burren area and so special effort was made to get to it. It lay some distance from my ideal route, but I was hoping that it would be worth the extra effort. As I drove along the road from the south the amount of effort necessary started to become very clear indeed - the tomb lies 500m from the road and about 80m above it. This doesn't seem like too much of a climb until you see that the hill is not a gentle sloping climb, but a series of high cliffs and plateaux. This is stunningly beautiful scenery, but great care must be taken when heading for this tomb. Every step should be watched because the clints and grikes of the pavements here are particularly evil.

The tomb is totally invisible from the road below and a GPS, good map reading skills or blind faith are necessary in order to find it. As it turns out the effort is worth just for the views, especially those to the north across Galway Bay and to the mountains beyond. The tomb itself is not mind blowingly special, but it is still very nice.

Only the front portion of the roof slab remains in place, perched on two lovely slabs forming the walls. The backstone is still present, but no stone blocks the entrance. Set to the front of the tomb is a huge slab (inline with the wall slab on the north side) similar to the one found at Creevagh, which in my opinion is a much finer example of this style of construction.

The roofstone has a maximum height of 1.7m and the gallery measures 4m x 1.6m (approx).

A visit is recommended for the real enthusiast, but if you venture to this tomb please take a lot of care.
