Lemnagh Beg
The Passage Tomb of Lemnagh Beg (also called Cloghaboghil) is located in the dunes south of the White Park Road, overlooking the beach of White Park Bay in Ballycastle in County Antrim in Northern Ireland .
It has a chamber consisting of four orthostats and a capstone facing southeast. The entrance is about 60 cm and the chamber is about 80 cm wide. The split capstone is about 1.6 m long, 1.0 m wide and 50 cm thick. The Passage Tomb is located in the middle of a 2.0 meter high, round cairn with a diameter of approximately 7.0 meters. At least four curbs are visible on the north side of the monument.
The memorial is classified as a "passage-less" Passage Tomb ( German " aisle grave" ) because it has no corridor. In this regard it is similar to the facilities at Clegnagh , Craigs , Craigs Lower, and Moneydig , all in County Antrim .
Nearby is Lemnagh More with a Rath with basement .
