Giants Grave

Wedge tomb

What is recorded here

Giants Grave is a wedge tomb in Clogh, County Sligo, Ireland. The site appears on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map as a 27 by 15 metre oval aligned north-east to south-west. Railway construction in the nineteenth century likely levelled the mound, erasing the physical remains before scholars could examine them.
