What is recorded here
Corbehagh holds a wedge tomb, one of many ancient burial places scattered across County Clare. The stones still stand in open land, marking a region where people have lived and remembered death for millennia. The survey identified it as a true wedge tomb, not a vague ruin, giving the site a clear shape and purpose.
