One of the ‘lesser’ sites in Sligo, yet still well worth a visit for its simple beauty.

A less elegant view from this angle, looking south.

The boulder is held above the burial by three stones, the one on the left here utilising a padstone to keep it level. Who was the person whose remains are still interred here? Often, caught up in the marvel of their construction, I forget that I’m visiting the graves of our ancestors.

Probably lucky to be still here, given the quarrying marks. We stayed here for a bit listening to the cuckoos and other birdsong. Magical.
