Labbacallee Wedge Tomb

Labbacallee (Irish: Leaba Chailli, "hag's bed") is the largest wedge tomb in Ireland, located 8 km northwest of Fermoy in County Cork. Radiocarbon-dated to 2202-2138 BC, it features three massive capstones, the largest weighing 10 tonnes and spanning 7.8 metres. The main chamber is 6.2 m long and divided by a vertical slab into two burial areas. Excavated in 1934 by Leask and Price under the new National Monuments Act, it yielded a headless female skeleton with burnt animal bones and a bone pin, plus two inhumations with three skulls in the main chamber.
