Labbaccallee, county Cork.

A small detail of the largest of Irish wedge-tombs, known as "The Hag's Bed" (Leaba Caillighe, referring to the Hag aspect of the Triple Goddess). The gallery comprises a large rectangular chamber, with a small one behind it, separated by a dividing slab, one top corner of which has been trimmed off to leave a 'half-porthole'. It is covered with three huge roofstones. There are two closing-slabs at the front of the tomb with a deliberate gaps on both sides.
