Here you will find a megalithic passage grave known as the Fort of the Three
Pillar Stones. The fort is estimated to be 6,000 years old and is known locally
as 'Darby's Bed'.
The tomb has a long almost inaccessible entrance passage, and the roof rises
likes steps to the top of its chamber and is regarded as being similar to
megalithic tombs in Brittany, France.
The entrance passage faces north-west in line with the midsummer sunset.
According to fable and folklore, it is believed that it is the grave of Olill Olum,
who was one of the early kings of Munster.
