Nearest village: Riverstown

Tucked away in a hollow, in the corner of a field, this remarkable megalith has a huge limestone capstone 2.5 metres thick,
4.5 metres long, and 2.75 metres wide, weighing some 70 tonnes.
It is a veritable hanging garden of vegetation, and appears to be driving the ridiculously puny portal-stones
and backstone into the soft ground. The entrance is marked by a thin door-slab.
'Labby' is an anglicisation of the Irish word for 'bed' - as in 'Dermot and Grania's Bed'.
This photo was taken in 1972, and the spot has much changed since then.
