Killaclohane Portal Tomb is a striking megalithic structure dating from the Neolithic period (c. 4000–2500 BC). The tomb features two upright portal stones supporting a large, sloping capstone that creates a dramatic silhouette against the sky. Located in a grassy field near Milltown, about 10 km from Killorglin, the site is accessible via a short walk from the road. Visitors can approach the tomb and examine its construction, imagining the rituals that once took place here.
