Portal Tomb in Co. Monaghan
This small portal tomb opens to the NW. It consists of two sidestones and a displaced capstone. Some small stones within the chamber may be some of the original cairn or possibly modern field clearance. A backstone and a fallen portal stone were in position in 1936 but are now missing.
