Portal Tomb in Co. Dublin

1.5 kms SSE of Stepaside, along a cul-de-sac leading off the N.43 for 500 metres, then up a private avenue and across 3 stony fields along a rough path which leads to the megalith from above is another portal-tomb with a huge capstone - which has displaced some of its supporting stones - and a very large chamber.
