Waterford’s ancient stunner 

The Gaulstown Dolmen is located about 5 miles from Waterford City on the road to Tramore in a beautiful secluded wooded area. It is regarded as one of the finest of the 170 portal tombs in Ireland. Its name is derived from the name of the townland and is situated at the foot of ‘Cnoc an Chaillighe’ or what is locally known as ‘The Hill of the Hag’. The east-facing portal stones stand eight feet high and the capstone is 14 feet long and possibly weighs over 40 tonnes. It is likely that the structure was once enclosed by a mound or cairn, which has since been removed or eroded away. If you time correctly on a clear day in spring when the bluebells are in bloom this can be a truly magical place.
