Townleyhall passage grave, Neolithic passage tomb in Drogheda, Ireland.
The chamber tomb contains a rectangular chamber measuring 5.3 meters long at the end of a passage, with concrete markers indicating former stone positions.
The excavation of Townleyhall passage grave in 1960 marked the first modern investigation of passage tombs in the Boyne Valley archaeological complex.
The Neolithic farmers who constructed this tomb in 3000 BC left evidence of their daily life through pottery fragments, flint tools, and cremated remains.
Located beside the N51 Drogheda-Slane road, the burial mound remains visible from the road with a marked entrance for visitors to access the site.
The structure features thirteen remaining kerbstones and four concentric circles on the ground surface, suggesting it may have been a free-standing monument.
