What stands here now, or rather what does not stand, is a second dolmen, a type of prehistoric portal tomb typically formed from large upright stones capped by a heavy flat slab, that was already overturned when it was first noted in the twentieth century, and has since vanished entirely beneath commercial forestry.

The structure came to light in the notes of T.F. Riley, who reported on the excavation of a nearby dolmen in 1935, a record held by the National Museum of Ireland. Riley's report mentioned this second overturned dolmen and placed it on a sketch map approximately fifty metres to the east of the excavated site, now catalogued as LI017-032---. That neighbouring monument was never formally excavated, and by the time the archaeological record was being systematically compiled, there was nothing left to examine. Local information, gathered during fieldwork compiled by Denis Power and uploaded to the record in August 2011, indicates that both structures were cleared when the land was planted with conifers during the 1970s. The trees that replaced them are still there.

Visitors to this part of Limerick looking for any surface trace will find none. The plantation itself is the only landmark, and even the sketch map Riley produced offers only a general orientation. What makes the site worth knowing about is less what survives and more what the record reveals about how prehistoric monuments have been lost, sometimes through neglect or agricultural change, and sometimes through deliberate clearance for land use that seemed, at the time, entirely practical. If you are in the area and curious, the location of the excavated companion dolmen, LI017-032---, is the more useful reference point, as it at least exists as a classified site, though conditions underfoot and the density of the tree cover will shape what any visit actually yields.
