Description and History – This tomb has a remaining kerb of 30 stones, passage and chamber. It measures around 31.5m in circumference and 10m in diameter. A large standing stone sits close to the kerb as well and decoration remains on at least four of the chamber stones. The chamber is in a rough cruciform shape but with two chambers on either side instead of one. I certainly got the impression that this would have been a very striking tomb when complete. Like so many at Loughcrew it only gives the barest hint at what it once was.
Difficulty – This tomb is easily spotted and reached from the entrance to cairn T.
