Proleek Dolmen is a prehistoric monument located in the town of Dundalk, Ireland. It is a megalithic portal tomb that dates back to the Neolithic period, around 4000-2500 BC. The dolmen consists of three large stones, two uprights and a capstone, which form a chamber that is open at one end. The capstone is estimated to weigh around 35 tons and is one of the largest in Ireland.
The dolmen is situated in a beautiful setting, surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields. It is located on the grounds of the Ballymascanlon Hotel, which is a popular wedding venue and golf resort. Visitors can access the dolmen by walking through the hotel's grounds and following a short path that leads to the monument.
The Proleek Dolmen is steeped in history and legend. According to local folklore, the dolmen was once the home of a giant named Parrah Boug McShagean, who was said to have been buried beneath the capstone. The dolmen is also believed to have been a site of pagan worship, and it is said that the stones were used for healing and fertility rituals.
Today, the Proleek Dolmen is a popular tourist attraction and a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history and archaeology. Visitors can explore the dolmen and its surroundings, take in the stunning views, and learn about the rich history and folklore of the area.
