Giants Grave

Wedge tomb

What is recorded here

The name is Giants Grave, which means the story is half-truth and half-wonder. A chambered tomb built by human hands, yet large enough to invite belief in something greater. The chamber is no longer visible, but the name still carries the shape of what was lost.

Portal dolmen; likely dates to the Neolithic period (c. 3500–2500 BCE). Recorded in early 20th-century surveys, it contributes to understanding megalithic tomb distribution in western Ireland.
