W8767 : Rostellan Dolmen
taken 11 years ago, near to Rostellan, Co Cork, Ireland
Rostellan Dolmen
This is the only example in the country of a dolmen (portal tomb) that is situated in tidal water. When the tide is in, the water level covers about two thirds of the stone structure. Also unusual is that it opens towards the east, rather than the setting sun which is usual for dolmens.
