Visit Notes

Sunday, 13th October 2002

This little wedge is not in very good condition. In fact it only has three slabs that form three side of an open ended, open topped box. Each one is 1.5m long and 1.1m tall.

It is impossible to say if the tomb was only a Burren style box wedge or whether more of a gallery existed. It is built on a very low rise in a fairly flat area of land, which is perhaps its most significant feature.
