The Galboly monuments are enigmatic sites, since they are not shown on the local OS map, nor do they appear in the scheduled monuments list for Northern Ireland. The reasons for this are unclear but in some ways this particular region is the most striking of all the Co. Antrim passage mound sites. There is a small dolmen like passage mound situated in Galboly Lower, not far from the coast road, and then three tombs situated higher up and farther back from the road on a plateau. Two of these are pretty ruinous but the third (pictured here) has all the characteristics of a small dolmen type passage mound of the Co. Antrim variety. The scenery here is remarkable - the local area includes a deserted village, breathtaking cliffs, rolling countryside, the sea, and hidden lakes.
