    There is a similar looking thing in Donegal, used as a "fowlhouse". See No. 6 at - www.carrowkeel.com/sites/donegal/malin-more.html

    The title in the catalogue is Megalithic Tomb, Burren - 3 negs, Killinagh, Co. Cavan.

    Which leads me to this page at megalithicireland: Burren, Cavan. Calf House, Portal Tomb

    Tombview

    It has a minimal wikipedia page which says it is from the Neolithic, so the date is no earlier than 3000 BCE.

    It is in Cavan Burren Park, with marked trails and an interpretive centre, about 50 mins drive from Sligo or Carrick-on-Shannon.

    For once the modern idea of a tourist attraction matches the 1940s Irish Tourist Association view.

    it does appear to have changed shape sometime between 1830 and 1911, though the later map at least doesn't appear entirely accurate, so it may just be down to cartographic errors.
