From the Wikipedia article

Knockmany passage tomb, or Anya's Cove, is an ancient burial monument on the summit of Knockmany Hill, near the village of Augher in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is the remains of a Neolithic passage tomb and its stones are decorated with rare megalithic art. They are protected by a concrete chamber and mound, built in 1959 by the then Ministry of Finance for Northern Ireland, roughly resembling the mound that would have originally covered it. The stones can be viewed through the entrance gates. It is a monument in state care.

Background

Description

The monument is a passage tomb built during the Neolithic, around 3000 BC. The chamber was originally covered with a stone cairn and earth. The 13 sandstone orthostats remain: these are of height 3 –, and three of them show carved decorations including concentric circles, spirals and zigzags. They are similar to the decorated stones of the tombs at Loughcrew and Newgrange.
