Dolmen of the Four Maols, Megalithic tomb in Ballina, Ireland.
The stone structure consists of three upright stones supporting a massive capstone, forming a square chamber on Primrose Hill overlooking the River Moy.
Dating back to 2000 BC, this prehistoric monument stands as a testament to early human settlement and burial practices in County Mayo.
Local traditions connect the dolmen to the execution of four brothers known as the Maols, who murdered Bishop Cellach of Kilmoremoy in the 7th century.
The archaeological site maintains permanent public access, situated 400 meters southwest of Ballina railway station, near Cockle Street.
Deep drill holes along the edges of the roofstone indicate previous attachment points for historical plaques and notices.
