Most
dolmens were built c. 3000 BC, i.e. in the
Neolithic. They may not have been graves; their exact purpose is unknown. The name "Kilmogue" derives its name from the
Irish Cill Mhóg, likely a church founded by or named for
St. Mogue. Another name is
Leac an Scail, "the hero's stone."
Scal literally means "burst", and
scal ghréine (sunburst) is used to refer to the mythological warriors the
Fianna. This could also be
Leac an Scáil meaning "the stone of the shadow or ghost" or "the phantom's stone". ==Description==
