Ken Williams > 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

Ken Williams > Knockeen Portal Tomb, Co. Waterford. Sadly built into a wall, this massive portal tomb must have once dominated the bare landscape. Two large capstones rest on top of one another and a doorstone between the 2m tall portal stones almost seals the chamber.
