Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb, Bronze Age burial site in County Dublin, Ireland

The megalithic structure consists of a burial gallery divided into three chambers, with double-walling and a U-shaped configuration on Two Rock Mountain's slope.

Built around 1700 BC, archaeologists uncovered 140 pottery pieces, flint tools, and cremated human remains during excavations in 1945.

The native name Tuama Dingeach Bhaile Éamainn Duibh translates to Giant's Grave, reflecting local folklore about the prehistoric monument.

Visitors access the national monument through Glencullen Adventure Park's walking trails, which connect to the Dublin Mountains Way.

A granite rock near the tomb displays prehistoric art featuring seven cup marks measuring between 1.5 and 3 centimeters in diameter.
