Kilclooney More A very impressive portal dolmen, Kilclooney is located up the fields behind the church in the small village of Kilclooney, north of Ardaragh in County Donegal. It is probably easy enough to find now, as a visitor centre was under construction for wind energy, when I was there last. Follow the track that leads up the bog from beside the church. Another of Leo Regan's photographs. The most impressive aspect of this monument is the massive size of the capstone, which looks much too big to be supported by the orthostats. There is the remains of another smaller dolmen, perhaps a hundred meters away, and the two monuments may once have been connected by a cairn. Be prepared for boggy terrain!
