Situated 20 metres South of the Barraboy North Wedge Tomb. This one is more substantial and has an interesting notch cut into the internal slab.
Both tombs are in a flat area of blanket bog, beneath Barraboy Mountain and looking out over Bantry Bay.
It's a bit of a trek to get there, but well worth the effort. I can't believe that I missed the standing stone 200 metres away to the NW.
