OPW Tour: Knockmaree Cromlech

Office of Public Works

Older than Newgrange and the Pyramids of Egypt, the Knockmaree Cromlech is a type of cist grave from the Late Neolithic period, 3000-2500 BC.

Knockmaree Dolmen, or Knockmaree Cist, is a prehistoric site predating the Pyramids in Egypt by about 500 years and located in the Phoenix Park. On this tour you will learn about these cist graves and the discovery of the grave in 1938.

Please wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear, as this is an outdoor tour.
