(8) Wedge-tomb: The remains of this wedge-tomb are, for the most part, concealed by bog. The gallery, orientated WSW-ENE, is 1.2m wide at the W and some 4m in length. It is represented by 4 sidestones on the N and a single sidestone, pitched inwards, on the S. Two outer-wall stones are exposed to the N; a single stone to the SE may indicate the E end of the outer-walling. The edge of a roofstone, almost totally concealed, is visible at the NE end of the gallery. The tomb is situated within a network of old field fences, two of which run up to the site on the SW and SE. (Fig. 21) The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 24. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
