An exceptionally well-preserved Megalithic Grave with some of the stones, which covered the grave still in place. Normally there is a mound of earth covering the whole site, but this has been eroded by time. It was the upper class in society who would have been buried here. Called Wedge Graves because they were made in the shape of a wedge, one end being wider than the other. The head of the wedge is also higher than it's foot. In the nearby townland of Ardmore is found the Ardmore Cross Slab, a recently discovered 8th Century Cross Inscribed Pillar. Definitely one of the finest examples of a Cross Slab.
