Oranmore megalith

A large rock by the side of the old Dublin-Galway road, just west of Oranmore and north of the road. This may be a kind of portal dolmen monument, or perhaps even a boulder burial, as the huge rock rests on a number of smaller ones. Worth having a look if you are passing.

The ruined remains of a portal dolmen can be found with difficulty by the east bank of the River Corrib between Galway and Menlo, not far from Oranmore.

Stone hutsites and cairn on Turlough Mountain, across the bay on the Burren. Picture from Book of the Burren.
