The Brownshill Dolmen is a portal tomb and National Monument located in Ireland. Built sometime between 4000 and 3000 BC by the island’s earliest famers, little else is known about the structure because it has never been excavated. All that can really be said is that its capstone is thought to be one of the heaviest in Europe, weighing an estimated 100 tonnes. Officially listed as the Kernanstown Cromlech, it’s called the Brownshill Dolmen literally because the hill on which it sits is the same hill the Browne family once planted their estate, from which the hill takes its name.
