Creevagh Tomb, Wedge tomb in County Clare, Ireland

The Creevagh tomb features tall outer wall stones and a partially grass-covered roofstone, with a gallery chamber made of large stone slabs.

Dating to the transition period between the Neolithic and Bronze Age, this tomb represents one of over 500 wedge tombs found across Ireland.

The tomb's orientation toward sunset suggests celestial alignments held significance for the ancient communities who constructed these burial structures.

Located near a stream and accessible through a by-road, visitors need to obtain permission as the site stands on private property.

A standing slab measuring nearly 2 meters in height marks the front of the tomb, indicating the presence of an antechamber.
