Labbacallee Wedge Tomb is the biggest of all the Irish wedge tombs. It is known as the 'Hag's Bed' as the tomb is associated with the Celtic Hag Goddess, Caillech Bhearra. A true hidden gem in Fermoy, Co. Cork.
The gallery is covered by three massive capstones, the largest weighs around ten tonnes and the tomb has three large buttress stones at the rear. Excavation in 1934 produced a number of exhumation burials, fragments of a late Stone Age decorated pot and a few fragments of bone and stone.
A must-see attraction if you're in the area. Labbacallee Wedge Tomb is free to visit as well.
