Recorded monuments

• TN033-025 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Situated at the western side of Knockteige Hill and in the basin of the Mulkear River. The tomb consists of a double-walled gallery, at least 7m long and 1.2m in maximum width, divided by a septal-stone into a portico at the WSW and a main chamber some 5m long. The gallery sides decrease in height towards the E. Forward of the septal-stone there are a number of stones. Among them are two outer-wall stones to the S and one to the N. Outside the last are two stones which seem to represent a doubling of the outer-wall. Two stones to the N and one to the S link the outer-walling to the septal-stone. These three stones could represent the sides of the portico or may be a dooubling of its sides. There are three set stones of uncertain status in the portico area. The S side of the main chamber is represented by five orthostats and a prostrate stone adjoining the easternmost of these may be a fallen example. The doubling along this side of the gallery is represented by six stones. The N side of the main chamber consists of six orthostats forming an irregular line. Almost 1m beyond the eastern end of the line there is another orthostat. This could be a buttress-stone for a missing backstone or a continuation of the gallery wall. The doubling of the N wall of the gallery is represented by five stones.

• TN033-039001 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated on a natural rise on top of a broad, flat ridge, sloping slightly to NNE, in upland pasture; extensive views in all directions. A raised mound, truncated by a N-S field boundary on the E side (diam. 9.8m N-S; 7.7m E-W).
