Ballyedmonduff

On the south eastern slope of Two Rock Mountain is a fine early bronze age wedge tomb, consisting of a rectangular chamber divided into three parts surrounded by U shaped double walled kerb filled with stones. You can clearly see the shape in the bottom picture and the standing inner stones in the middle picture.
The tomb was excavated in the 1940's when cremated bone,a polished stone hammer, flints and pottery were found. I would recommend you to visit this tomb. I decided to visit it after browsing through a wonderful web site megalithomania.com which is quite an extensive site showing megalithic sites around Ireland.

Situated: From Kiltiernan take the Glencullen road, turn right at Johnny Fox's Pub, you will come to a golf course on your left hand side. The tomb is in the woods on the far side of the course about a hundred feet in from the gravel track that surrounds the woods.
