Carrickgollogan (Wedge Tomb) — News

4,500-year-old Neolithic tomb collapses in South Dublin The dolmen, located in Shankill, appears to have collapsed in late 2021. A WEDGE TOMB located in Shankill, Co Dublin that is over 4,500 years old has collapsed. The tomb, which dates back to the Neolithic period before the start of the Bronze Age, appears to have collapsed in late 2021, with photos showing the capstone having fallen in. The tomb itself is located on farmland in Shankill, and is known as the Carrickgollogan wedge tomb. Andrew Bambrick, who runs a heritage conservation community, says that the capstone appears had fallen in between the two supporting stones, and that it was sad to see it like this. “It’s sad, it’s been in the country for over 4,500 years and it’s collapsed,” said Bambrick. Photos taken of the monument in early 2021 show it surrounded by fencing and overgrown with brambles. In more recent photos, there are fewer brambles surrounding the tomb, but the capstone has collapsed inwards. Bambrick says that while wedge tombs have collapsed in the past, it is usually due to factors like tree roots displacing the tomb and over long periods of time, erosion. Bambrick says that he has reported the collapse to the National Monument Service, but had yet to receive a response.
