Gaulstown Burial Chamber

The Gaulstown Portal Tomb or Gaulstown Dolmen is thought to date back to 3500 BC. It is made up of a large rectangular capstone, which is 4.2 metres (14 ft) in length, and 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) deep. There are three upright stones supporting it. The tomb faces south east and has two east-facing portal stones standing at about 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) high, with a door stone. It is located at the foot of  the hill called "Cnoc an Chaillighe". It is about five miles (7 km) south southwest of Waterford/Port Láirge and northwest of Tramore off the R682 and a minor road southwest of Lisnakill Cross.
