Wedge tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The structure belongs to the wedge tomb tradition, a category of megalithic burial monument characteristic of the Irish Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods, typically featuring a tapering chamber aligned roughly east to west. These monuments served as communal burial places and represent significant developments in prehistoric Irish funerary practice and social organisation. The wedge tomb form reflects regional building traditions and architectural preferences that distinguish Irish megalithic culture from broader European megalithic practices of the period.
