This rather quaint dolmen is located in the middle of a modern housing development, which makes for great access but affects the vibe surrounding the site. However it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the local area, even if it is quite a bit smaller than some of the dolmens found in and around the suburbs of Dublin.
