Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb

Ballyedmonduff Wedge Tomb is a megalithic burial structure on Two Rock Mountain's slope, featuring three distinct chambers connected in a U-shaped arrangement with double walls. The design reflects Bronze Age burial practices and construction methods of its time.

The tomb was built around 3700 years ago during the Bronze Age as a burial place for multiple people. Excavations in 1945 revealed pottery fragments, flint tools, and cremated remains that shed light on who was buried here.

The Irish name translates to Giant's Grave, showing how local tradition has long viewed this structure as something extraordinary. The place remains woven into the landscape where people walk and explore the Dublin Mountains.

The site is reached via walking trails from Glencullen Adventure Park that link to the Dublin Mountains Way, making it accessible as part of a longer hike. Plan your visit for dry weather, as the mountain slope can be slippery when wet.

Near the tomb stands a granite rock carved with seven cup marks made by prehistoric hands thousands of years ago. These rock carvings represent an earlier form of artistic expression on the mountain.
