Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Proleek Dolmen This is one of the most impressive portal tombs to be found anywhere, dating back to approximately 3000BC. The massive capstone measures 3.8 x 3.2 metres and is variously estimated to weigh between 30 and 46 tons. It rests on two upright stones 2.3 metres high, and a third modern confection of stone and concrete to keep in balanced! The clutter of smaller stones on top bears witness to local folklore, that if you throw a stone up and it stays there, you will be married within the year! http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/proleek/index.htm The dolmen stands in the grounds of the Ballymascanlon Hall Hotel http://www.hotels-world.com/tp.hotel/hotel.6583/Lu/Best_Western_Intl/Best_Western_Ballymascanlon_Hotel.htm , and is reached by walking across the hotel's golf course. |
