Parknasilloge Chambered Grave The megalithic tomb at Parknasilloge is as yet unclassified. It could be a Kist or maybe a disturbed Wedge tomb, as there are a number of small boulders lying around the chamber. Presently the tomb is being over run with brambles and a fallen tree lies next to the tomb. What once appeared as a quite picturesque image in old photographs is now a a dreadful mess and sadly a poor reflection on the age we now live in. This site badly needs some attention sooner rather than later. |
