Townleyhall Passage Grave

Townleyhall passage grave is a chamber tomb located around 2 km north of Dowth tomb [1]. It is part of the megalithic complex of Brú na Bóinne in County Louth, Ireland [1]. Unlike its more famous neighbours in the Boyne valley, the tomb consists of a single chamber that merges with the entrance passage making it an undifferentiated passage grave [1]. Townleyhall was excavated by George Eogan in 1962, work which found Carrowkeel ware pottery providing the first indication that Ireland's passage graves were of Neolithic date [1].
