Recorded monuments

• TN039-008 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  Situated close to the foot of the S-facing slope of Knockmaroe Hill. The remains consist of a mound about 9m in diameter and 1m high with a hollow towards its western perimeter where there are three stones. One of these is an orthostat aligned WSW-ENE. This stone, which declines in height from W to E, may have formed part of a chamber side. Resting against the last is a large slab, possibly a displaced roofstone. A thin slab beneath this may have been detached from its underside. Some stons exposed at the edge of the hollow and at the perimeter of the mouond are of uncertain origin. The scant remains seem to be those of a wedge tomb. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 89, No.9) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
