The entrance to the tomb is slightly obscured from the footpath and we nearly missed it, believing that we had come across a passageless cairn like Maeve's Tomb.
Nearby is a small lake, home of a legendary hag. The place oozes with atmosphere.
Note: Volunteers help repair this ancient cairn, see the latest comments on our page
