Shrough passage tomb
Shrough passage tomb submitted by GaelicLaird : Photo taken December 2021. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Passage Grave in Co. Tipperary A passage tomb, officially recorded as monument number TS073-007----

On the summit of Shrough Hill, part of the Slievenamuck/Moanour mountains, with forestry encroaching to within 10m to N, E and W, forestry to W has been felled affording an extensive view of the Galty mountains and foothills below.

A stone wall runs E-W along the S edge of the mound. The monument consists of a roughly circular cairn (diam. 30m; H 2m) with a small, roofless polyogonal chamber (int. dims. L 2.2m; Wth 1.2m), aligned roughly E-W, near the centre of the cairn (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 101; Ó Nualláin and Cody 1987, 76-8). The sidestones vary in height from 1.2m to 1.8m (ibid. 76).

The cairn is overgrown with gorse, heather and low scrub but the mound is noticeable underfoot.
