Megalithic structure in Knockmore, County Carlow

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Local information indicated the site of a supposed collapsed megalithic tomb (Brindley and Kilfeather 1993, 2, No. 10). There is no visible trace of this feature and, whatever its nature, it cannot on present evidence be accepted as the site of a megalithic tomb.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CW022-023
