What is recorded here

Wedge tomb in Breeoge is a wedge tomb in Breeoge, County Sligo, Ireland. It belongs to the megalithic tomb tradition still visible across that part of western Ireland. The chamber and its surrounding stones mark a place where ancient people shaped large rock into a permanent structure. That is why the site remains part of the regional record of prehistoric burial and monument building.
