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

The main evidence for this activity consists of animal bones, charcoal and sherds of cooking pot.

[6] Labbacallee Wedge Tomb was one of the first sites excavated under the new National Monuments Act (1930) by Harold Leask and Liam Price in 1934.

According to the excavation report, at this time the smallest chamber was filled to the top with rubble, including earth, stones, ash and the bones of animals and humans.

According to the tale, four local men went to the tomb in the middle of the night, with the aim of digging for the treasure that they had heard was buried there.

As they started to dig, it is said that the hag's daughter Aibell appeared in the form of a cat, fire bursting from her tail, terrifying the men, who were dazzled by the light emitting from it.

The remaining men lived to tell the tale, and their experience stood as a stark warning to others that they should never, under any circumstances, disturb the resting place of the long dead at this most mysterious of megalithic sites.
