Portal Tomb in Co. Dublin. Likely 3300-3500BC. Quite damaged with a concrete support.
In a park next to a gated house. A small road within the park leads you to a former workers house known as Knockmary Lodge. The tomb is located to the right of the lodge on the eastern side. Top photos: Cathy Norris.
Note: Knockmaree Dolmen was discovered last week with a chunk missing, and track marks visible nearby. More in the comments on our page
