This ancient stone assembly has stood on this very spot from a time when monuments like NewGrange were being built.
The dolmen lies within the grounds of the Ballymascanlan Hotel. Proleek Portal Tomb is about 3m high and has a huge capstone weighing approximately 35 tons. Legend says that a wish will be granted to anyone who can throw a pebble on its capstone so that it stays there. The two front portal stones are 2m high.

There is also a Bronze Age wedge tomb nearby.
