Wedge Tomb in Co. Clare


This wedge tomb is one of a number to be found in a densely covered Parknabinnia heathland area by a minor road leading off from the R476. Set unusually just below the edge of a small escarpment, it is a large tomb now only partly covered to a length of 3'. The gallery is 13' long by 6'6" wide
