    Labbacallee wedge tomb (Irish: Leaba Chaillí, meaning 'hag's bed') is a large pre-historic burial monument, located 8 km north-west of Fermoy and 2 km south-east of Glanworth.
    It is the largest Irish wedge tomb and dates from roughly 2300 BC. It was the first megalithic tomb in the country to be described by an antiquarian writer, in John Aubrey’s manuscript of 1693.


    The tomb has three massive capstones, with the largest weighing 10 tonnes, and three large buttress stones at the back.
