Altdrumman, county Tyrone.

H 577 768 - Sheet 13

Nearest village: Milltown-Loughmacrory


One of several mid-Ulster megaliths to be called The Cloghogle (Irish: cloch togálach = raised stone)
this charming little dolmen has herbage growing on the massive, fissured capstone (one metre thick),
and quaintly small supporting stones.
It is like a small version of The Labby in county Sligo, but with views.


A characteristic photo from the same angle by Ken Williams.

 

1.2 km NE by a roadside in Loughmacrory (H 585 776) is this well-preserved wedge-tomb
( known as Dermot and Grania's Bed), here seen from the East.
Four of its 5 roofstones are in place and much of the cairn survives.
