What is recorded here

Megalithic tomb in Knockcurraghbola Commons is a megalithic tomb in Knockcurraghbola Commons, County Tipperary, Ireland. The site holds a roughly rectangular chamber one metre long and eighty-five centimetres wide, built from four low upright stones beneath a two metre capstone. It stands in open upland pasture beside a visible wedge tomb six hundred and seventy metres to the north.

Situated in upland region, in pasture with good panoramic views in all directions, view of Galtee More to the SW on a clear day. Good views of Wedge tomb (TN039-009) located 670m to N. A roughly rectangular chamber, 1m long by 0.85m wide and 0.3m high at the open SW end formed by four low upright stones with a large capstone (H 0.55m; L 2m; Wth 2m) sitting on top of the side stones. A second capstone may be a displaced roofstone from the SW end of the chamber. Not clear whether this is a megalicthic tomb or not however the arrangement of the capstone sitting on side stones forming a chamber suggests that it is a possible megalithic structure. It also has an impressive siting in the landscape with fine panoramic views of hilltops within this mountain region. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its location in an upland area and proximity to another known wedge tomb suggest it is part of a wider funerary landscape.
