Ballybrack Dolmen

	Ballybrack Dolmen If you live in Dublin and want to visit megalithic sites you do not, as you may think, have to travel far. Situated in and around the Dublin Suburbs are many sites of interest including this small "Cromlech", which is standing in the middle of a green situated in a housing estate. This Portal Tomb has existed for some three and a half thousand years, known locally as the Greyhounds bed, I wonder if this appealing tomb can survive another thousand years.
Although appearing to be in good condition, apparently some of the side stones and a backstone are missing. This megalithic tomb is well worth a visit, even if only to see the odd situation it is now standing in.
	Situated: West of the Ballybrack-Bray Road, as you come to a roundabout you will see a stone with Cromlech fields wrote on it, you can see the Portal tomb from here situated in the middle of the green immediately west.
