Portal Tomb in Co. Leitrim

800 metres N of the fine mediæval church in Fenagh, and 300 metres W of a by-road, across a marshy hollow, is a large, conspicuous but damaged portal-tomb, whose grass-covered capstone is 3.7 metres long, and supported on one portal-stone over 2 metres high. The other portal-stone has broken, and a large fragment of the roofstone – over 2 metres long – lies at the SE corner of the chamber.
About 100 metres N of the portal-tomb is a round cairn about 10 metres in diameter, in which there is the small, roofless,polygonal chamber of a passage-tomb.
About 100 metres S of the portal-tomb is another small passage-tomb in a rectangular grassy cairn from which some stones protrude.
