A four-chambered tomb, originally from Ballintaggart in county Armagh, with a shallow forecourt of four orthostats with a good part of the cairn and kerb surviving has been erected on the far side of the Ulster Museum (just beyond the Queen’s University and overlooking the Botanic Gardens). Vintage slide photo from the 1980s.
A good overhead view of the tomb may be had from the museum’s cafeteria.
~ 6 km N is The Giant’s Ring, Ballynahatty in county Down: a large henge enclosing a small passage-tomb.
