• KE085-001 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  In rough boggy pasture, on a plateau broken by rock outcrops at the W end of the Derrynasaggart Mountains. The wedge tomb is partially hidden in bog. It consists of an unroofed antechamber (L 1.1m; Wth 1.3m) of single sidestones at the W end, which is separated from the chamber (L 1.55m; Wth 1m) by a pair of jambs (L 0.3m), 0.9m apart. The chamber is roofed by a single slab carried on two sidestones at each side. A single stone closes the E end, which is covered by peat. Two slabs beyond the S side of the antechamber represent outer-walling. Two large leaning slabs cross the W end of the structure and between these is a tall slender stone (L 0.45m; T 0.15m; H 1.3m). A loose displaced stone (L 1.55m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.15m) stands on edge behind the facade. This may have formed part of the roof. The tomb is surrounded by a small mound (H 0.5m).
