To the south-west, Leamcrossan Hill (392m) on the right and Crockglass (397m) beyond it. We were utterly charmed by this one. A gem.

East over the tomb towards Creehennan Hill (351m). Much of the facade and de-roofed ante-chamber remains.

The rear of the tomb at the north-east is open. The turf-covered chamber is a charmer.

The jewel of the three wedge tombs in the townland – this is looking north over the SW/NE aligned monument. Much of the front of the tomb has collapsed down through the years and is partly embedded in the bog. The mountain to the right is Grinlieve (371m), that on the left is Sliabh Sneachta (615m).
