Portal Tomb in Co. Kilkenny
2.4 kms W of New Ross, 400metres up a tarred lane to the NW of a by-road leading to Mullinavat – then 400 metres up a grassy track to an abandoned farm, and then across two fields, this portal-tomb has a capstone 3 x 2.4 metres and 1.5 metres thick. It is supported by one slab-like portal-stone 1.5 metres high, and a door-stone. The backstone has collapsed.
~ 20 kms due W is the fine portal-tomb of Kilmogue.
