• KK035-053 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
  Description

  On the E side and near the mouth of the narrow river valley that runs between the two hills N of Owning. Comprising a ruined chamber facing SSE represented by a broken W portal, a door-stone, the W sidestone and a leaning-in backstone. The E portal is prostate and the adjoining E sidestone is displaced. The roofstone (L 2.9m; Wth 2.5m; T 0.5m), has been dislodged to the W and its upper end rests on the backstone and W sidestone. A large slab beside the tomb to the S may be the broken upper portion of the W portal. Fogarty records that the monument was intact until c. 1825-30 and that the roofstone 'rested level on 7 large flags' (c. 1850, 21, 54). (Fogarty c. 1850, 21, 54; Borlase 1897, vol. 2, 408, Iverk no. 3; Powell 1941, 22, no. 25; Ó Nualláin 1983, 97, no. 3) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 12 May 2021

• KK035-096 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Approximately 7m N of a motte (KK035-038----) on a level shoulder on the E side and at the head of a narrow river valley that runs between the two hills N of Owning. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 249) describes it as being '17ft. [c. 5m] long and about 3ft. [c. 0.9m] wide. Some of the stones are in situ, others fallen, but lying as they fell. . . now generally called the "Giant's Grave"'. The monument was destroyed between 1974 and 1982. Only an E end stone and adjoining N sidestone of a gallery remained in 1974. Two orthostats stood immediately N of this and formed a doubling of the gallery wall. It would seem probable that the monument was a megalithic tomb and interpretation of the remains as the E end of a wedge tomb gallery would not be inconsistent with the evidence.
