Haroldstown Dolmen, Co. Carlow.
Click on the photo for a larger view.
One of Irelands most appealing portal tombs, Haroldstown Dolmen apparently housed a family during the famine in the 1840's. Its solid and robust feel is enhanced by the collapsed rear capstone covering the rear of the chamber, and the remains of its cairn prop up the rear. Photos taken on a spectacular 15 minute sunset show on New Years Eve 2004.
