Goward Dolmen is a megalithic dolmen or cromlech in County Down, Northern Ireland, located two miles from Hilltown in the townland of Goward [1]. The monument features a massive granite capstone measuring 13ft x 10ft with 5ft thickness, supported by pillar stones nearly 6ft tall [1]. The capstone has slipped from its original horizontal position [1]. Excavations in the 1830s produced a cremation urn and a flint arrowhead [1]. It is known locally as Pat Kearney's Big Stone or Cloughmore Cromlech [1].
