What is recorded here

Knocknahaw holds an unclassified megolithic tomb, meaning even the archive has not decided whether it is a passage, court or chamber. That uncertainty belongs to the stones themselves: large enough to bury a chief, odd enough to confuse a surveyor. The dead may have arranged the rock to resist explanation, forcing every later watcher to invent structure before measurement.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
