Liste von Wedge Tombs in Irland

Die Liste von Wedge Tombs in Irland enthält Wedge Tombs in der Republik Irland und in Nordirland.

Die Seite des irischen National Monument Service NMS[1] und die Seite des Northern Ireland Sites & Monument Record NISMR[2] enthalten alle bekannten Wedge Tombs.

Auf der irischen Insel sind über 580 Wedge Tombs bekannt.

Im Gaeltacht sind die Namen der Townlands auf NMS in irisch angegeben, während sie in der anderen Literatur überwiegend in englisch angegeben sind. Für das Gaeltacht werden hier beide Namen aufgeführt.

Bei den Positionen werden neben den Geodaten auch die Werte des Irish Grid des Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSI) angegeben.
