Knockeen Dolmen

This is one of the finest dolmens in Ireland. The six uprights of this very impressive portal tomb stand, at the highest point, at 2.8 metres and form a sort of porch with the doorstone, which reaches almost to the same height. This huge megalith has two capstones which is common to this area. At present it is part of a boundary between two fields. The overall height of this dolmen is some 3 1/2 metres.
