Directions

This is not easy to find. From Tramore take the R682 north west and then the first left. About 400m after the second right hand turn you will come to a track on the right. Park here and follow the track and then the sunken path around the fields. The tomb is situated in the fields to the right where the path takes a sharp right turn.

What a quaint place. Snuggling into a bend in an ancient trackway at the corner of a field this is quit a surprise.

Much of the low mound is still around the tomb, which still has one roof stone in place. The chamber, exposed at one end, is about 2m long by 80 cm wide, with a height of just 60cm.

For some reason this is one of the prettiest litle tombs I have seen, but I can not quantify why. Perhaps it is just because what I saw here was so unexpected.
