Passage tomb?
by Colin Murphy  21 May 2024
Descending Beann Bhán in Kerry recently, came across this structure, which appears (to my untrained eye) be a megalithic tomb, although it isn't marked on any map I could find. Perhaps it's of more recent origin, but perhaps a member might be able to shed some light on it. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/577/comment/24215/
