About Aughnacliffe is a small village on the west side of Lough Gowna in east County Longford on the borders of County Cavan.

Here you will find hidden in a gentle hallow protected by trees hedgerow, the Aughnacliffe Dolmen.

The main capstone is 9 feet long and rests at the front on the single remaining portal stone, 6 feet high, on which a small Christian cross has been inscribed.

The lower capstone is supported on the chamber uprights and, as it now stands, the whole presents and eye-catching study of balance.
