The remains of a passage grave crown the summit of Kilmacoliver Hill. A signposted trail leads from the road which runs alongside the GAA sports pitch, passing through woodland before a fairly steep ascent up the hill through several fields, whereby you shall arrive in a field adjacent to the monument which is on private land. The view from here is said to cover five counties but when we visited unfortunately there was persistent rain and heavy cloud cover.
Knockroe passage mound lies just over 2 miles to the north-west, while a cairn crowns the summit of Slievenamon mountain 8 miles to the west. The remarkable Kilmogue dolmen is located about 4.5 miles due east. All of which indicates that this area was particularly significant in Neolithic times.
