Took a bit of time to get up there but I made it.. It just looked like a bunch of stones (lots of stones around there) but the give away was the two vertical and a horizontal across the top A lintel. Man put it there The little plaque informed the visitor that the structure was believed to be the tomb of a chief of some 4ooo years BCE... Thats old... He/she got a beautiful place to rest The views were amazing. The land around Sligo and Donegal are magical ..
Mopinko, go visit your people when this shite is done.
