Tullycommon Wedge Tomb is a wedge-shaped gallery grave and National Monument located in The Burren region of County Clare, Ireland.
Tullycommon wedge tomb is located in the eponymous townland in Kilnaboy parish, 1.8 km (1.1 mi) southeast of Carran, between Knockaun Fort (with souterrain) and a caher.
Wedge tombs of this kind were built in Ireland in the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, c. 2500–2000 BC.
Tullycommon Wedge Tomb is aligned approx SW-NE, receiving the light of the setting sun. It is a box-like structure with two long sidestones and a capstone. The gallery is just 1.7 m in length and 80 cm high.
At the rear two shorter side stones flank the back stone. Just beyond the end of the chamber is an outer back stone.
