What is recorded here
Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb is a U-shaped stone chamber built around 1700 BC on the south-eastern slope of the Two Rock mountain. Excavations in the 1830s and 1940s recovered cremated bone, a polished stone hammer, flints and pottery, proving the double-walled gallery served the dead before mountain biking trails and adventure parks claimed the living landscape. The tomb still stands eighteen inches high beside modern recreation, a quiet reminder that human hands have shaped this slope for millennia.
