Muntermellan, county Donegal: Dermot and Grania's Bed or The Dane's Cave*

Tucked between two rocky ridges overlooking Dunfanaghy, the sea, and a panorama of Errigal and Muckish mountains beyond, this tomb is bolder and more dramatic than most modern sculpture. There are two roofstones - a table-like horizontal slab, and a larger one which has been displaced and now leans against the slender upright portal-slab on the right. Obviously, the entrance-portals have been pushed together both before and after the capstone slipped.
