It may be in Wales.

Lots of trees in the background suggests East rather then West...

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.

Niall McAuley That makes a lot more sense. Mary
Niall McAuley said:
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.
