A small tab lock box in a black sack containing a log, pen and some swaps.
This is a very special little passage tomb. (minus the passage) Located in a field below the ridge of Long Mountain, with wide views over the landscape of Co. Antrim & Co. Derry.
Seven beautifully shaped, and closely spaced orthostats hold a substantial, but quite crudely repaired capstone. The capstone is reported to have been shattered by lightning (more likely frost) in 1976, and was repaired in 1985.
The site was excavated in the mid-nineteenth century, and there are records of the cairn being removed then, and the burial urn removed.
The site has very easy access, a few yards from the road, over a stile and is in the care of the state.
You do not need to enter the field to find the cache but you can go in to see the tomb if you wish.
