Grania's Grave is a Neolithic megalithic tomb located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a portal tomb structure, a form characteristic of the early Neolithic period in Ireland, dating to approximately 3500 BCE or later. The tomb is distinguished by its cup-marked capstone, a feature that suggests either Neolithic or Bronze Age activity at the site, as cup marks are found on both periods of megalithic monuments in Ireland. As a surviving example of portal tomb architecture, Grania's Grave represents an important element of the prehistoric funerary landscape of Ulster and contributes to understanding Neolithic settlement patterns and ritual practices in the region.
