Home > Knockeen Dolmen, Co. Waterford. Click on the photo for a larger view. Massive portal tomb with two capstones and a door stone, it is possible to stand up inside comfortably. It is now unfortunately built into a wall but is too impressive to miss. Click here to see more photos of this tomb.
Home > Ballynageeragh Dolmen, Co. Waterford Click on the photo for a larger view. Whether due to a lack of original material or understanding of ancient architecture, someone has rebuilt this portal tomb as if it came flat packed with no instructions. A modern concrete wall props up the rear since the 40's and the chamber is now triangular because the side stones have nothing to lean against but themselves. Even so, you can imagine this was once a fine tomb with a very well chosen capstone and it has the character of an old man determined to ignore the fact that his legs are falling from under him. click here to see more photos of this tomb
