Wedge Tomb in Co. Kerry

200 metres S of a road-junction, 3.3 km NW of Ballinskelligs, this well-preserved and picturesque tomb’s main chamber is covered by a capstone just under 3 metres long. There is an opening in the narrow E end which may be original. The antechamber/portico is unroofed and made with high slabs, the largest being 1.5 metres high. There are two closing-slabs with a deliberate gap in the N side.

I think LabbyDermot is actually a different site, one that is nearby.

If you look at any old maps on geohive,

https://webapps.geohive.ie/mapviewer/index.html

(The Historic 25 inch maps are excellent)

There is a site called LabbyDermot located at these co-ordinates:

51°50'37.9"N 10°15'37.6"W

This may also be the missing Leabaleaha site, but I can't be sure

I have visited twice. Location is almost exactly as given on OSI 1: 50000 map NOT that estimated on this site, which shows the location to be North of the track. It is located to the South of the track. Location by sat nav puts the location close to the mapped point that is :-
51.82341 N , 10.31344 W [Updated]
