The collapsed capstone of this portal tomb is very substantial.

Kilgraney

The landowner here is very proud of what he has on his land. There’s even a sign on the gate into the field announcing the presence of the Kilgraney Dolmen. The structure here is badly collapsed however. I struggled to identify any of the orthostats but I’m sure they have been plundered down through the years as there are distinct quarry marks on two of them. The babbling stream not 5 metres away from the monument is soothing. Access is downhill from the aforementioned farm gate and visitors are welcome.

Just a short note to say thank you to the farmer that I met at this monument. The man was almost apologetic for having disturbed me as I took photographs.
Very easy to find in July 06 as the field is now being used as pasture.
