Détails

Across a field to the N of a by-road leading S from the dual-carriageway from Belfast to Newtownards, this small dolmen is quite impressive with its oversailing roofstone at a significant angle common to many portal-tombs, supported on two orthostats and another smaller roofstone. It has a fine half-doorslab. The name "Greengraves" is particularly interesting, since the "Green" part of it comes from the Irish for "sun". The name of the tomb, The Kempe Stone[s], derives from Norse "Kampesten": big stone or prehistoric tomb.
