Knockroe Passage Tomb

Knockroe Passage Tomb is a prehistoric site, of the Neolithic period, in the townland of Knockroe in County Kilkenny, Ireland, about 10 km north of Carrick-on-Suir [1]. It is known locally as "The Caiseal" [1]. Quartz is scattered around the site: this may have formed a wall at the entrances [1]. The chambers would originally have been covered with earth [1]. There are similarities with the tombs at Newgrange and Knowth [1]. Excavations have been conducted for several years at the site [1].
