On my must visit list, too late to make it this time, may take up to 90 minutes to climb the mountain, when weather is good its possible to see Loop head in Co. Clare from the fort
Very easy access, asked for permission to visit this monument that is located just off the main road

Stay on the “higher ground” going to this and you wont have mush of a problem with soggy ground, easy to find, cant really miss the large boulder type capstone

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
Exact location
52.25.44.3 N 06.38.12.7 W
Two standing stones at the end of a stony pathway beyond a water treatment plant, please close the gates, the stones are adjacent to each other next to a lovely lake with beautiful scenery, very secluded settings
At least 12 feet tall as you can see from my helmet, this impressive stone is well worth visiting and easy to get to from the road

Met a group of German visitors at the site, didn’t have time to visit Uragh west, wonderful place to be revisited
