This lies just off a track accessed next to an abandoned farmhouse on the the main road, make sure to close all the gates, if you continue another 1.5km to the end of the track its reasonably easy to find Boloona Wedge tomb about 500m distant

Difficult to find unless you know where to look, take the narrow boreen to the right just beyond a farmhouse, continue for around 300m and before the track veers 90 degrees the wedge tomb lies to the right just behind a high ditch (you can just about make out the capstone but it barely resembles one) very overgrown

Archaeologists warn against delisting of post-1700 historical structures
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/0916/1224304193570.html
HOLY WELLS, bridges, milestones, vernacular buildings, lime kilns and other industrial sites that post-date 1700 will be "left without any protection" following moves to "delist" them, the Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland has claimed.
In what it described as a "very worrying proposal", the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is seeking to exclude all post-1700 archaeological and historical structures and sites from the national Record of Monuments and Places (RMP).
