Creevagh Wedge Tomb

Creevagh wedge tomb is a Neolithic wedge tomb. It is located on private land in the townland of Creevagh, in the parish of Carran, in the Burren (Irish: Boireann) area of County Clare, Ireland (Irish: Contae an Chláir, Éire). It is thought to have been constructed in about 2300 to 2000 BC. Those that constructed this type of tomb ensured that the widest part of the tomb faced the setting sun. Clearly as part of the belief systems of the people at the time. Creevagh tomb follows the same pattern with the widest part facing the southwest. This tomb has a roofstone over the chamber that is supported by two sidestones, with a backslab. There is a stone standing at about six feet towards the front. The site is north from Creevagh and also along the minor road about 2.3km north from Parknabbinia Wedge Tomb on Roughan Hill.
