Seen from the southeast.


The Kilcrimple Wedge Tomb is very similar to the Derrycallan North Wedge Tomb, but it's bigger and more visible, without too much vegetation around. It's in a private field, but the access is easy. It's about 80 metres southwest from the field gate. The tomb has a large and regular capstone, one stone on the northwest side and two stones on the southeast side.
Just like the Derrycallan tomb, this is aligned to the southwest (250°) and its capstone has a very rugged surface.
It's 1.58 metres tall, 3.50 metres long and 2 metres wide.
