Works completed at national monument in Kilkenny

Kilmogue Dolmen, County Kilkenny

A car park planned to facilitate better access to Kilmogue Dolmen in South Kilkenny has been completed.

The message relayed to local councillors by Area Engineer Stan Cullen at this month's meeting of Piltown Municipal District Council.

Under CLÁR Programme funding issued in 2022, €50,000 was awarded for the improvement works at the Dolmen.

The Dolmen, also known as 'Leac An Scail', is noted for being the tallest dolmen of its kind in Ireland.

It was constructed around 4000-3000BC.
