Kilmashogue

Kilmashogue or Kilmashoge is a mountain in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county in Ireland [1]. It is 408 metres high and forms part of the group of hills in the Dublin Mountains which comprises Two Rock, Three Rock, Kilmashogue and Tibradden Mountains [1]. A number of prehistoric monuments can be found on the slopes of the mountain [1]. On the northern slopes is the remains of a wedge tomb [1]. It was excavated in 1953 by H. E. Kilbride-Jones, aided by Rúaidhrí de Valera and Seán Ó Nualláin, of the Royal Irish Academy [1]. The tomb consists of two chambers which were originally covered by a cairn of stones [1]. The main chamber is 4 metres long and 1.5 metres wide and is formed by a triple-walled gallery [1]. On the northwestern slopes, in a field near the village of Rockbrook, are two standing stones, square in section and approximately 1.8 metres tall [1].
