Knockeen Portal Tomb, Portal tomb in County Waterford, Ireland
The Knockeen Portal Tomb contains five large upright stones and two capstones, reaching a height of three and a half meters above ground level.
The structure dates back to the Neolithic period and stands near the ruins of Kilbride Church, where it formed part of an ancient cemetery complex.
The tomb's entrance aligns with Sugarloaf Hill to the northwest, indicating possible connections to solar and lunar events in prehistoric Irish practices.
Visitors can reach the tomb by following the R682 road north from Tramore at Clooneys crossroads and walking through a field with electric fencing.
The structure features an uncommon double capstone configuration, with the main horizontal slab measuring twelve feet in length and three feet in thickness.
