Portal Tomb in Co. Tyrone
This is a nice monument located in a region that is blessed with Neolithic sites. It is located behind a farmhouse and barn on private land, and is quite overgrown. Quite a lot of its cairn remains hidden beneath the grass, whilst the remains of a separate circular cairn are to be found close by.
The surrounding field in which the monument sits has been excavated with an earth mover and is very muddy. Wellington boots are a must, as is permission from the landowner.
NI Monument 15002.
