Annadorn Chambered Grave
I am not sure about the correct classification for this dolmen. According to an 1802 account, this chamber was in the centre of a large cairn and approached along a lintelled passage. This suggests that it might be the remains of a passage tomb, but the chamber seems too low. Another theory is that it is a collapsed portal tomb. |

The portal stones may be missing or lying under the capstone. If the portal stones have fallen, then this may have been a tripod dolmen similar to two other tombs in County Down at Legananny and Ballykeel. |
