Parknabinnia Wedge Tomb

The tomb features two side stones and a large roof slab measuring over three meters in length, constructed with limestone blocks from the Burren region.

Archaeological findings from 1999 revealed human bone fragments, worked flints, and pottery fragments beneath the capstone, dating the structure to approximately 2300-2000 BC.

Local residents maintained traditions about supernatural consequences for those who attempted to remove stones from the burial structure throughout generations.

Visitors can locate the tomb by following the R476 road east from Kilfenora, past Leamaneh Castle, where signs indicate the site's location near the main road.

The structure contains an entrance closed by two stones, with one potentially designed as a removable barrier for accessing the burial chamber interior.
