What is recorded here

Clooneen holds a broken wedge tomb where one tall limestone slab still leans against smaller stones on a gentle slope. It belongs to the ancient field system beside Corcomroe, joining two other wedge tombs within thirty metres. People may have laid dead beneath stones now scattered by time, while hazel and pasture have swallowed most of the shape. What remains is a thin edge of memory, pointing west across open country.

On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture and hazel, with wide views from S to W, and within a multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Identified by Paul Walsh (SMR file). This poorly preserved wedge tomb is defined by an upright limestone slab (L 1.4m at base; L 1m at top; H 1m; T 0.15m), oriented ENE-WSW. The S face of this slab is supported by a smaller upright stone (L 0.5m; H 0.3m; T 0.2m). Another upright stone (H 0.6m; L 0.4m; T 0.1m), oriented N-S, lies c. 1m to the W; this may also be part of the tomb. Two wedge tombs (CL009-059093- and CL009-059094-) lie c. 15m and c. 30m to the S respectively. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 5 July 2022

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BC). Its location within a multiperiod field system highlights its potential role in both ritual and later agricultural landscapes.
