Goward Dolmen

Goward Dolmen is a megalithic dolmen or cromlech situated between Hilltown and Castlewellan in County Down, Northern Ireland, two miles from Hilltown [1]. It is in a farmer's field in the townland of Goward, in the parish of Clonduff [1]. It is known locally as Pat Kearney's Big Stone or Cloughmore Cromlech [1]. The huge granite capstone has slipped from its original horizontal position [1]. The cap stone measures 13ft X 10ft with 5ft thickness and is supported by pillar stones nearly 6ft tall [1]. Excavations in the 1830's produced a cremation urn and a flint arrowhead [1].
