Sitting at between 150 and 160 metres above sea level on the south side of a large rock outcrop in Ceann Droma, County Cork, the wedge tomb is surrounded by uncultivated ground: rocky outcrops, gorse, tufts of grass, and boggy patches. The Sullane River runs about 500 metres to the north, and the monument opens out to wide views south and south-west, with the Paps and Mullaghanish mountains visible to the north and north-west. It is not a place that announces itself.

A wedge tomb is a type of megalithic, meaning large-stone, burial monument built during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. The name comes from the characteristic shape: the chamber is typically wider and higher at one end, narrowing towards the other. Here, the long axis runs just over four metres from north-north-east to south-south-west, enclosing a roughly two-metre-square box-like chamber formed from several upright slabs, two of which cover the top. One slab at the north-north-east end has partially collapsed, and that end of the monument is buried in a cairn and heavily overgrown. Large stones fill the gap between the tomb and a rock outcrop to its north-west. The monument was likely recorded as early as 1898, when a 'large cromleac', an older term for a megalithic chamber, was noted in the adjoining townlands of Rahoonagh East and Rahoonagh West, though the identification was never confirmed. What makes the site particularly interesting is its relationship with the surrounding landscape. A standing stone, unrecorded until recently, rises 25 metres to the south-south-west of the tomb: about 1.5 metres tall, striped with vertical lines of quartz, and oriented so that its long face points directly towards the wedge tomb. A further stone pair stands 100 metres to the west. Whether by design or accumulation, this small cluster of monuments suggests the area carried some significance well beyond a single burial event.
