Passage tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in the Dungannon area of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Dating to the Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 3000 BCE, it represents a significant example of the passage tomb tradition that characterised megalithic funerary practice across the Irish island during this era. The monument consists of a stone-built internal passage and chamber, typical of this monument class, which would have served as a communal burial facility for Neolithic communities. Such passage tombs are among the most substantial and architecturally complex monuments of the Neolithic in Ireland and Britain, demonstrating considerable investment in construction and reflecting the ritual and ceremonial importance of the dead within these societies.
