Parknabinnia 3
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Wedge Tomb
Country: Ireland (Republic of) (Co. Clare)
Visited: Would like to visit
Parknabinnia Capstone Factory submitted by enkidu41 on 25th May 2004. R 259933
Close to Parknabinnia (1) wedge tomb are a number of remains (I found at least 5) which look like abandoned workings in which large rough slabs (which abound in the area) were turned into tomb capstones. In short, the area was a capstone factory. To enable them to be worked, the slabs are raised at one end on to a small boulder making them accessible all round. This is one such half finished capstone.

Parknabinnia 4 submitted by enkidu41 on 25th May 2004. R 259933
A wedge tomb which has partially collapsed. The stone in the foreground may have been the front of the chamber in which case the slipped capstone would originally have been considerably longer. Alternatively, the stone may have been part of an ante-chamber.
