When I found this tomb I thought it was a wedge tomb , but it is
in fact a court tomb . The reason for my confusion was that it
is a very buried tomb indeed. There is just a small chamber
exposed to the east of the monument. What I thought where
slightly displaced roof stones poking through the peat are,
apparently corbels. The exposed section faces east and there is
some speculation as to whether it is actually a trancepted side
chamber as can be found at Behy (County Mayo), but this is
doubtful. Of the exposed stones a sill and walls can be
determined but little else. Wedge tombs are most easily
catagorised by their main characteristic - they are taller and
wider at the entrance than they are at the rear. Like court
tombs they have a gallery which is split either by septal slabs
or sill stones into smaller chambers. Galleries can be anything
up to 8m in length. The side walls are, uniquely, made of two
rows of stones (three in some cases), which is refered to as
double or triple walling. This double walling
