One of many in the Parknabinnia area, this box-like wedge tomb has a 10 foot capstone. One end is closed while the other end has a small opening (as one observer has put it) to make a "spirit entrance" or "soul hole." During a site inspection of the wedge tomb at the top of Roughan Hill in August 1999, Carleton Jones discovered fragments of human bone lying on the surface of the clay floor of the chamber. Nine fragments in all (including one tooth) were collected.
