Kilfeaghan, county Down
J 232 154 - Sheet 29
Nearest town: Kilkeel
This granite dolmen looks like a giant tortoise crawling up a beach (the long
cairn), with a big capstone 2 metres long and 1 metre thick, and orthostats
half buried in field stones and cairn material. An early account states that
the cairn (now mostly disappeared) extended for over 7 metres in front of
the N-facing chamber, so that there might once have been a façade similar
to that of the court-tombs.
