]]>Walking to the main group of tombs at Loughcrew brings close proximity to these remains near where the path changes direction abruptly. The Historic Environment Viewer States: 'This cairn is designated P2 by Conwell (1866, 370; 1873, 65) who describes it as six large stones, one of which (L 1.9m; dims of base 0.7m x 0.4m; max. dims 1.7m x 0.6m) had cup-marks on the E face, although he thought that they might be solution holes, which they are.'

]]>Purchase of Dowth estate announced as part of new Irish National Park, including the megalithic tomb discovered close to Dowth Hall. A 5500-year-old passage tomb uncovered in 2018 at Dowth Hall in the heart of the Brú na Bóinne World Heritage site in Co Meath is “the most significant megalithic find in Ireland in the last 50 years”, archaeologists believe. The ancient burial chamber, believed to be about 40m in diameter and half the size of nearby Newgrange, was discovered during archaeological investigations by the agri-technology company Devenish and UCD school of archaeology.
