Donegal’s dazzler

The Kilclooney Dolmen is located in southwest Donegal and is one of Ireland’s most elegant. It is also one of the largest and heaviest examples in Europe weighing in at over 100 tonnes. Its massive capstone looks different from every angle and some say it resembles a bird taking to flight, a whale, a dolphin, and even an alligator. The lower end of the capstone is unusually supported by an extra back stone which is believed to have been built into the design to allow extra light to shine into the tomb. There is a court tomb nearby and a smaller dolmen which has partly collapsed. This area is Ireland at its most magical.
