Irelands tallest portal tomb at Kilmogue near Mullinavat really is a sight to behold, positioned next to a babbling brook, you can imagine how impressive this tomb was when seen in a landscape without hedgerows and walls. The chamber is almost complete and is tiny compared to the huge portal and door-stones and the highly angled capstone. You really have to stand beside this monster to appreciate it.
