The two Wedge Tombs of Castlehill are located in the townland of Castlehill (Irish Cnoc an Chaisleáin) southwest of the village of Ballycroy (Baile Chruaich). Wedge Tombs, formerly also called "wedge-shaped gallery graves", are megalithic structures built between 4000 and 2500 BC in the Neolithic period.
Wedge Tomb 1 is well preserved
The smaller Wedge Tomb 2 is located about 200 m north of Wedge Tomb 1.
