Mount Venus, Megalithic heritage site in Edmondstown, Ireland.
The Mount Venus portal tomb contains a massive 44-ton capstone that rests partially collapsed upon its supporting stones in County Dublin.
The structural modifications at Mount Venus might be linked to the effects of both the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and the 1690 Caernarfon earthquake.
The ancient burial structure includes two substantial portal stones, with only one remaining vertical while the other 15-foot stone lies beside the monument.
Visitors can reach the megalithic site through an opening in the hedge next to the former golf course, near the Dublin Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
A third dressed stone measuring four meters in length and one meter in width stands positioned in front of the primary megalithic structure.
