Hûrî

A rare of example of an intact, unexamined hilltop tomb of which only the large capstone can be seen. It is not a collapsed portal-tomb as suggested by the Archaeological Survey, and its commanding position above a lake, offering vistas across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man and Cumbria, and westwards towards the Mountains of Mourne suggests that it may be a small, derivative passage-tomb – or at least a megalithic kist. 

Close by at the base of Slievenagriddle is Ballyalton court-tomb, buried in a dense thorn thicket and rarely accessible. Also not far away is Loughmoney "dolmen" a remnant of a court-tomb (see picture left).
