A lovely, small passage tomb located to the west side of the Mullan Road south east of Finvoy. The dolmen is set in a field a few metres from the road with easy access and an information board right by it. With seven orthostats and a repaired capstone it is a lovely site.
It was excavated in the mid 19th century when it appears to have lost its mound. The capstone was repaired in 1985 after a lightening strike 9 years prior to that.
