Proleek Dolmen

The Proleek Dolmen is one of Ireland's best known and largest. Interestingly, it is located on what is now a fashionable golf course and resort, but the signage is good, and determined megalith hunters can find it with little difficulty.
Little remains of the great house that once anchored this
demesne...
































Nice grounds though
















And rose garden
















The signage was indeed good




But you still had to run a golf ball gauntlet



























Finally, the allee couverte that accompanies the dolmen
















Fellow megalith hunters































And, just a hundred yards away, the Proleek Dolmen


















































Right there near the 5th green
















Thus
















Non-country club environs
















I have seen this sort of thing on golf courses in Brittany, but
always assumed they were just contemporary follies...
