DOLMEN AND GALLERY GRAVE, grounds of Ballymascanlon Hotel near Dundalk
- J086119 BACK TO TOP A Neolithic portal dolmen tomb that now looks like a tripod, but probably had side stones. Portal tombs have a single chamber and an entry between two portal stones, sometimes with a blocking stone between. The capstone weighs about 53 tons and may have been covered or just showing above a cairn of stones. Nearby is a wedge or gallery tomb of a kind used in Neolithic and Bronze age times. To visit the dolmen you must go by this small but equally interesting tomb. The hotel’s leaflet does not mention this nor does the heritage label. |
