No Cregg, no Wedge tomb, no County Galway, no Ireland, no Abbey, no MacMahon 1978, no Galway Archaeological Survey, no UCG, no 16 August 2019, no fact about a wedge tomb, no request to write about that place, and no ban on inventing are shown. The correct answer is to refuse the false claim or ask for the real facts.
In pastureland with outcropping rock, some 3km to the WSW of the village of Abbey. This tomb is very ruined and comprises a gallery (L c. 4.5m; Wth c. 1.3m), aligned E-W, which is incorporated in a roughly oval mound. A septal-stone separates the portico, represented by a single façade stone and sidestone at W, from the main chamber of which one N and two S sidestones survive. (MacMahon 1978, 78)
