Knockmany passage tomb, Neolithic passage tomb on Knockmany Hill, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland

The burial monument contains standing stones between 3 and 7 feet tall, decorated with concentric circles, spirals, and zigzag patterns on their surface.

The passage tomb dates from approximately 3000 BC and features a concrete chamber built in 1959 to protect the original Neolithic burial structure.

The name derives from Irish 'Cnoc mBáine', and local traditions connect the site to Queen Báine, wife of King Túathal Techtmar from the first century.

The tomb sits at the summit of Knockmany Hill, requiring visitors to walk up a steep trail to reach the archaeological monument.

The decorated stones at this location display artistic patterns similar to those found at major Neolithic sites like Loughcrew and Newgrange.
