Dolmen at Aughnacliffe

Aughnacliffe is a small village in North County Longford, located midway between the towns of Longford and Cavan. This part of the county is regularly described as a fisherman’s paradise.



The Dolmens/Portal Tombs of Aughnaclifff are well worth the visit. These tombs are thought to be places used for burial, ritual and religious activities.  About 200m north of Leebeen Lough stands the second spectacular Cleenrath dolmen, known locally as ‘Leaba Diarmuid agus Gráinne’, which when translated means  ‘the bed of Diarmuid and Gráinne’.
