What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Slievenaneav stream. A wedge-shaped gallery (L 3m; Wth 1.9m at the W end; Wth 1.4m at the E end), aligned ENE-WSW, consists of a single capstone resting on sidestones. There is a single sidestone on either side of the gallery, each one leaning inwards. The single capstone has a mound of field-clearance material on top of it and it is partially obscured by overgrowth. The E end is closed by an inset backstone. A stone slab (L 0.95m; T 0.2m; H 1m) stands near the N side of the entrance and may have formed part of a portico. Another wedge tomb (KE076-056---) lies c. 400m to the E.

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BCE). Its wedge-shaped gallery and single capstone construction are characteristic of a funerary tradition widespread across Ireland during this period.
