| CARROWCROM WEDGE TOMB |
| This fine intact Wedge Tomb, marked on the Historic map as 'Dermot & Grania's Bed', is located SW of the village of Bunnyconnellan, 'Muine Chonallain', and south east of the town of Ballina, 'Beal an Atha'. The tomb, orientated NNE - SSW, is in a near perfect condition and consists of a chamber 3.1m in length, lined by two side-stones on either side forming a near perfect wedge shape. There are two roof-stones gently sloping to the back and the 1st two side-stones, along with two erect orthostats, form a frontal facade, between which are smaller slabs forming dry-stone walling. The entire structure is surrounded by a small, round cairn 4m in diameter. A wonderfully, preserved wedge tomb well worth a visit and access is easy through a stile from a side road. |
