Leagun

Portal Tomb

The portal tomb at Leagun is situated beneath a rocky outcrop overlooking Streamstown Bay. The two portal stones are just visible from the road against the craggy background. The 3.5 metre long chamber consists of the two portals, a back stone, and two side stones on the east and three on the west. There are slight traces of a cairn on the south and west sides. The tomb is aligned NNW-SSE. Although roofless, this megalithic monument is well worth a visit. The landowners were very accommodating, but I would strongly recommend wearing boots as the 60 metre walk to the monument is across very uneven boggy ground.
