Passage tomb (HED NI NISMR MonID 15538) is a prehistoric megalithic funerary monument located in the Dungannon area of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. This structure dates to the Neolithic period, representing the monumental architectural traditions of Ireland's early farming communities, typically constructed between approximately 3500 and 3000 BCE. The monument comprises a passage leading to a burial chamber, a characteristic design of Irish passage tombs that allowed repeated access for ritual and mortuary practices. Such monuments served as communal burial places and ritual centres for the dispersed populations of Neolithic Ulster, and their construction required substantial labour investment and social organisation, indicating the presence of established communities with shared religious and funerary beliefs.
