    Well preserved dolmen stones

    This is not the easiest place to find- there are sign posts in primrose road- but you can easily go straight by them - the dolmen sit up behind the rail station and factory units- not quite in the countryside but interesting all the same-...More

    Worth the effort; Not remote, but, not easy to find.

    This dolmen is actually right in BALLINA suburbia (well and industrial estate). While most dolmens are in rural areas, and fields, etc., this one is in BALLINA town. Had some issues locating it, as the directions did not make sense (it is not behind the...More

    Worth 10 Minutes

    Not the most impressive dolmen I've seen, but still, it's made of some sizeable chunks of rock. Be careful you don't drive past; it's set above the road just next to the industrial estate right on the edge of town. Worth ten minutes if you're...More

    Behind the train station, up Primrose Hill

    We asked four local people, including 3 hotel receptionists in two hotels where the dolmen was. Their answer: What is a dolmen?!! So much for local knowledge. It is hard to find. Go to the train station, cross the level crossing up Primrose Hill, and...More

    Worth a stop enroute into town

    Situated beside and industrial estate, but worth the visit. Some info about these types of monuments was provided but unfortunately no info on the age of this exhibit!

    After a long and arduous journey the dolmen appeared upon the horizon, splitting the sky like a fantastic pile of rocks! My pulse quickened the sight of its beauty upon the mound. As any of my friends would tell you I've a keen eye for...More

    Good and bad

    Easy to find but in a built up area. The story surrounding it doesn't quite add up but do some googling before you go and make up your own mind.
