Craigs Dolmen, Co. Antrim
Click on the photo for a larger view.
'Craigs Dolmen' is actually the remains of a passage tomb although it could easily be mistaken for a portal tomb as no sign of a passage remain. The capstone is cemented back together and is not angled (as most portal tombs would be). It is now home to a small bunch of very curious sheep who are very protective of it.
The unusual finger like orthostats make this a very curious monument, well worth a visit.
