"One odd thing happened while I was waiting around. I was looking west past the tomb when I had a strange feeling. I turned around and there was a huge black hound looking down at me from the top of a nearby hillock. At first I thought it was a large rottweiler, but it had no brown upon its chest, so thought maybe it was a mastif or something. After staring at me for a few minutes it turned around and bounded off, disappearing down the other side of the hillock. I waited for a few minutes expecting it and its owner to appear walking down the track back towards the church, but no one appeared. Eventually I plucked up the courage to walk to the top of the rise where the dog had stood and looked around. Nothing. Not a sole to be seen. All that was missing was the dog having glowing, red eyes to completely freak me out!"

I must admit to nearly shitting myself that night!

Shuck in some parts, Bargest or Padfoot in Yorks and Lancs. Big black dog legends are very common in East Anglia too.

"Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can't keep away."

Not THAT black dog then...

"Kilclooney Dolmen seems to be gaurded by a large black dog, at first I thought the dog came with some tourists who arrived but it turned out not to be theirs. The dog stayed with me until I left as it got dark. Next morning I arrived at 7am for sunrise and the dog was waiting at the tombs again. He seems quite friendly, certainly a bit more than the edgy bulls that were moving around the dense undergrowth like hippos in a pond."
