    Looking at it on the Co. Carlow site, don't see any artwork or references to such. Bits of lichen and wear about all. Cool though. Not sure how they know it's the largest in Europe though, I'd expect that to be debatable.

    Apparently the Capstone is estimated at between 100 and 150 tons.

    But you saying that doesn't really help the debate about whether it is the largest in Europe or not.

    I think the claim is the capstone is the heaviest in Europe. Can't argue that. But, there are bigger dolmen's, I visited this one, it's huge:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen_de_Bagneux
