Megalithic tomb in Clonmeen North,clonmeenwood

Megalithic tomb

What is recorded here

Unlocated in Clonmeen North, the tomb appears only as a standing stone and ruined dolmen class monument, stripping it of context but preserving its shape. H. Roe named it without coordinates, forcing imagination to complete what measurement refused. That gap is not failure; it is the place speaking through absence.
Unlocated standing stone within townland that is described by H. Roe as a 'Standing Stone and small ruined monument of dolmen class' in her unpublished report Laois County; Gazetteer of Finds Monuments etc. p. 2. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
Portal dolmen; likely dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its association with megalithic traditions in the region, reflecting early ceremonial or funerary practices.
