Ballygunnertemple

The megalithic structure at Ballygunnertemple is believed to be the remains of a megalithic cist. Cists are small stone built chambers used to hold the dead. All that remains here are two parallel side stones with a displaced lintel/capstone leaning against them. To the southwest two other stones are to be seen protruding from the undergrowth. These are thought to be part of a second cist. Cists are usually asscociated with other monuments like cairns or barrows, just to east of the main cist is a small mound. These structures are on private ground so please ask if you wish to view them, but to be honest I would not recommend a visit as the site is badly overgrown.
