Kilmashogue

The Wedge tomb of Kilmashogue is a more disturbed Wedge tomb, near the R116 ( Edmonstown Road) in the same townland Kilmashogue (English also Kilmashoge, Irish Cill Mochióg ) on Kilmashogue Mountain ( Sliabh Chill Mochióg ) in the Dublin suburb of Rathfarnham, County Dun Laoghaire - Rathdown in Ireland.

Wedge tombs (Eng. " wedge tombs ", formerly "wedge -shaped gallery grave" called ) are seamless, mostly unarticulated megalithic monuments of the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. Some of the curbs are still available. Originally the plant covering Cairn is only in the outer region, where they receive flat. The remains of a surrounding ditch, which was originally deeper and a rampart can be seen. The gallery of about 2000 BC erected Wedge tomb is rectangular ( not wedge-shaped ). A pre-chamber is separated from the main chamber by a very high entry stone.

Some stone boxes have been installed later in the cairn. Nearby are two small square-shaped menhirs.

There are other megaliths in the Dublin mountains, including the portal tomb of Kilmashogue and similar highly disturbed Wedge tomb of Ballyedmonduff.
