Knockmany Cairn, Augher, Co Tyrone: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the rolling hills of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland lies the enigmatic Knockmany Cairn, a Neolithic tomb that has stood the test of time for over 4,000 years. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, as it reveals the inscribed stones that adorn the cairn's exterior. The Knockmany Cairn, located in the townland of Augher, is a passage tomb, believed to have been built around 3500 BC. It is one of the most impressive Neolithic sites in Northern Ireland, and its unique features have long intrigued archaeologists and historians alike. The inscribed stones, visible in this photograph, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the area and the people who lived there thousands of years ago.
