I was instantly reminded of Altar when I first saw this monument. It is very similar. Two slightly overlapping roofstones cover the gallery. I was very disappointed, however, to find the tomb buried in brambles. I was not surprised by this though - I've become used to it. When will people start to care for these ancient structures again? Probably never, because there's no money in it.

If cleared it would be a very good example of a wedge tomb. That is to say that it is a very good example - you just can't see that it is at the moment. Because this one has not been reconstructed it has a lot more character than Altar. If the brambles were just cleared off it then it would be a very visitable site.

This is the northern most of two tombs in this townland. I could not locate the other tomb (just 200m away). I think it is now totally hidden.
