Brownshill Dolmen, also known as Browneshill Dolmen, is a massive megalithic portal tomb located in County Carlow, Ireland. Built between 4000 and 3000 BC, this ancient structure features a capstone that weighs around 150 metric tons, making it one of the heaviest in Europe. The tomb is flanked by two large upright stones supporting the capstone, with a gate stone blocking the entrance. Despite its age, the dolmen has not been excavated, adding to its mysterious allure.
