Passage Grave in Co. Waterford

About 150 metres E of a by-road, on top of a low hill about 600 metres N of Fairybush Crossroads, this low tomb commands a fine view and is the most impressive of a group of County Waterford passage-tombs which resemble those of the Scilly Isles off Cornwall in that the chamber and the passage are one. The wedge-shaped passage/chamber and the partial doubling of the side walls in this example show some influence from wedge-tombs. Only 2 roofstones survive. The sepulchre is surrounded by remains of its cairn, and a kerb of orthostats broken at the entrance to the passage/chamber in which there is a low sill-stone.

~ 15.4 kms W by S is Matthewstown passage-tomb.
