Seven stones and one broad roof built a narrow chamber on the south-facing slope. People placed the dead inside during the wedge tomb period, then left the chamber open for the hill wind and rain. The tomb still keeps that shape in Derrynacaheragh, waiting beneath the grazing land.

In rough grazing, on a S-facing slope. A wedge-shaped chamber (L 3.7m; Wth 1.1m at the E end; Wth 1.35m at the W end), aligned E-W, is closed at the E end by a single backstone. The N and S sides are each composed of three sidestones. The tomb is covered by a single roofstone (2.75m x 1.87m; T 0.3m). A prostrate stone lies immediately to the SW of the tomb. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BCE). This type of tomb is significant as it represents a regional variant of megalithic funerary architecture in Ireland, often associated with communal burial practices and ritual activity.
