What is recorded here

No amount of knowledge can bend that chamber. It must be built tall enough to touch the sky, wide enough to span the distance between worlds, and strong enough to hold the weight of what lives above. Every measurement on the sheet is a claim that the universe still has edges. The chamber is a room large enough for the whole of creation to enter at once.

On a gentle E-facing slope in improved pasture. Described by Westropp (1907, 461) as fallen. Recorded as CL. 41 by De Valera and Ó Nualláin (1961, 36) who also supply a plan and photograph. No visible surface trace of the monument was found on field inspection in 1999. A second wedge tomb (CL006-056----) in Rannagh East stands c. 500m to the NNE and a third wedge tomb (CL006-057----) is located c. 565m to the NE in Termon townland.

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). Its significance lies in its architectural form, which is characteristic of the transition from earlier megalithic traditions to more regionally distinct burial practices in Ireland.
