Proleek Dolmen

Standing around 3.6m (12 ft.) tall, this huge dolmen is said to resemble a giant's finger when viewed from a distance. We've never quite seen the resemblance, but it's an impressive sight nonetheless. The capstone, which looks alarmingly precarious, balanced on top of three smaller stones like a crude, misshapen tripod, weighs a massive 35 tons. The top of the capstone is invariably covered with pebbles, due to a local legend that if you can throw a stone and it stays there, your wish will come true. You can reach the dolmen down a paved footpath from the parking lot of the Ballymascanlon House Hotel (see below; tel. 042/935-8200; www.ballymascanlon.com), about 6km (3 3/4 miles) outside Dundalk. It's about a .4km (1/4 mile) walk. To find the hotel from Dublin, take exit 18 for Dundalk North off the M1, then take the N52 off the first roundabout, and the road to Ballymascanlon from the second. The hotel is about 3km (1 3/4 miles) down this road.
