| ANNAGHMORE PORTAL TOMB, COUNTY LEITRIM |
| This Portal Tomb, marked on the OS map as 'Cromlech', is located on a gentle west facing slope in an undulating landscape. The rectangular chamber is 2.5m ENE-WSW, 1.2m NNW-SSE and 1.55m in height, consisting of two portal-stones at the east, two side-stones and a back-stone. The capstone measures 2.2m in length, 2.1m in width and 0.5m in depth. There are traces of a cairn 1m in height, surrounding it at the south end. It was originally incorporated into the junction of two field banks but they have been cleared and it is now accessible directly from the road at the south. |
