About Damphcloy Megalithic Structure

A huge rectangular boulder is supported at one side by the hillside and at the other by smaller boulders. This has been claimed to be a megalithic tomb, but there must be doubt about its antiquity. It could have been created by hollowing out loose material from under the ‘capstone’, and it may have been a shelter on the mountainside.
