Visiter The Haroldstown Dolmen.

The Haroldstown Dolmen is considered one of the most interesting examples of a dolmen. Rather imposing, it measures over 4 metres long and 3 metres high. Suffice to say, it’s not the smallest megalithic complex in the country! In excellent condition, this dolmen is located on a private plot…

A dolmen in excellent condition!

The Haroldstown Dolmen is set in open fields, on private land next to the R727 road. It’s a good idea to ask permission before approaching the dolmen: the friendly owner usually allows access in return for this courtesy.

The dolmen was once the entrance to a prehistoric tomb. The burial chamber housed human bones, arrowheads, pottery and other everyday objects of the period, which were only discovered in the 19th century…

The dolmen is rather imposing, well-balanced, and carries an intriguing mystery. Its charm and authenticity make it one of the region’s finest assets: you’ll be fascinated by its beauty and ancestral character!
