Stones in the field boundary of the field that has Aghawee dolmen – they look like the remains of a second megalith and are embedded in the ground, but are unrecorded anywhere I’ve looked.

From this angle it looks like it’s almost imploding in on itself. The weight of the capstone, and its flaws, have caused it to snap in two. It’s a wonder it’s still standing.

Aghawee portal tomb is actually quite substantial. The capstone has snapped in two and fallen back off the portals. Most of the structure of the classic dolmen is still there.

The small dolmen at Aghawee skulks in the corner of the field, like a naughty, unloved child.
