Drumanone Portal Tomb As can be seen from the picture on the left, the capstone of the portal tomb at Drumanone, County Roscommon, has slipped back from the two portal stones, but it is still a fine example of its kind. The two portal stones stand to a height of two metres and the tomb still retains the almost full height doorstone, pictured below. It was quite overcast on my last visit and the images do not do this tomb justice.
