Located about 700 metres northwest of Back Strand at the inner reaches of Sheep Haven Bay, this monument commands sweeping views along a river valley that stretches southwest towards Muckish Mountain, some six kilometres distant. Though greatly deteriorated, the site continues to intrigue those who study Ireland’s prehistoric past.

The surviving stones are frustratingly difficult to interpret, though they appear to represent what was once a chamber or gallery oriented northeast to southwest. The most prominent feature is a tall stone standing 1.6 metres high at the northeastern end, accompanied by several smaller set stones and fallen slabs. A particularly large slab, measuring 3.1 by 1.5 metres and 0.4 metres thick, rests atop some of the lower stones, having apparently shifted from its original position. The arrangement includes stones set at right angles to one another and others that may be broken stumps of once taller megaliths, but no traces remain of any earthen mound that might have originally covered the structure.

What makes this site particularly interesting is its historical consistency; accounts from Ordnance Survey documents dating to the mid 19th century describe the monument in much the same ruinous state as it appears today. While the remains are clearly those of a megalithic tomb, likely dating to the Neolithic period when such monuments were commonly constructed across Ireland, the stones are too fragmentary and displaced to determine what specific type of tomb it once was. Whether it was a portal tomb, court tomb, or another variety remains a mystery, leaving this atmospheric site as an enigmatic reminder of Donegal’s ancient inhabitants.
