The Inchincurka wedge tomb stands near to the crossroads of the same name. The burial chamber itself seems largely intact, but there was no trace of the covering mound. About 3m long, the height of the enclosed gallery drops from 0.9m at the west to 0.25m at the eastern end. The tomb itself was very overgrown at the time of our visit, brambles and weeds filled the burial chamber and grew thickly on the roof slabs. Whilst it was impossible to see into the tomb, much less enter it, the southern side was relatively weed free and could be seen to be comprised of more than one row of orthostats, the roofslabs being supported by the inner stones only. Two flat slabs span the sidewalls on either side of the western aperture forming a short facade.
