Passage Grave in Co. Antrim

Only the kerb circle and a few central stones remain of this monument, but its spectacular setting more than compensates for its ruinous state. To the north is Rathlin Island and one can see for miles around from here, and soak up the amazing Co. Antrim coastline. A short distance lower down the slope sits the remains of a court tomb. It is easy to see why this spot was specially chosen by our ancestors to place their monuments.
