Late evening on the first day of the year and after two disappointments earlier I pulled the car over in the cul-de-sac on the southern flank of Croghan mountain. Twenty metres into the field is this weird looking stone, about 1.4 metres tall and one of those that looks different from every angle. One side of it is incredibly phallic and looks like it has been split vertically down the middle. It's well embedded into the ground but not marked on the OS map and I only found it from scouting the SMR at archaeology.ie – I had a sense that this may be modern and erected as a cattle scratching post.
Locals were a good help directing me to this, continue up the unpaved track just beyond the yard full of old vehicles, take the gate to the left and continue all the way to the end of the field, the portal is just about visible, almost hidden in the gorse, looks like it hadn't been visited in a long time, cleared a path around the tomb
