Ballyganner South, county Clare.
A fine but damaged tomb which has the largest chamber in the Burren, formed by 2 great sidestones over 5 metres long and a neatly-fitting backstone. The top of the S sidestone juts forward like a prow. Over the W end of the tomb are two broken slabs which, together with fragments inside and outside the chamber, formed the huge roof of the tomb - before a large bonfire was lit on the intact roofstone to celebrate a Hurling victory in 1955.
