Situated on the gradual W slope of Truskmore Mountain, this is one of several megalithic tombs to be discovered recently. It is an almost-intact wedge-tomb with all the classic characteristics of kerb, double-walling and portico/antechamber, though the entrance is still hidden in peat.
~ Just over 11 kms NE is the well-preserved court-tomb at Shasgar, county Leitrim.
