Knockmaree Dolmen, Neolithic burial chamber in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland.
The stone burial chamber contains a capstone measuring nearly two meters long, supported by smaller stones forming a rectangular structure.
Workers discovered the burial site in 1838 while removing a large tumulus, revealing four stone cists containing urns, food vessels, and bone fragments.
The structure represents a Linkardstown type burial, named after similar graves found in southeast Carlow, characterized by mounds on elevated ground.
Visitors can reach the dolmen by following the paths through Phoenix Park, with no entrance fee or specific opening hours required.
Excavations uncovered two male skeletons aged 40 and 50 years, along with flint knives and shell necklaces as burial offerings.
