Knockmaree Dolmen (also called Knockmaree Cist or Knockmary) is a Neolithic burial monument in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland, dating to approximately 3000-2500 BC. The tomb is a cist situated on a small ridge, with a water-worn capstone measuring 1.96m by 1.05m supported by smaller stones. It was discovered in 1838 when workmen removed a tumulus 15 feet high and 120 feet in circumference, revealing this and four other cists. Finds examined by the Royal Irish Academy included human remains and grave goods.
