Passage Tomb by Baunfree
The remnants of the northwest-southeast oriented passage Tomb von Baunfree ( Irish Bán Fraoigh ) lie on the summit of the approximately 300 m high Kilmacoliver Hill near Owning south of Windgap in the south of County Kilkenny , north of Carrick-on-Suir in County Tipperary in Ireland .
Much of the cairn material, especially in the west and north (up to a maximum of 1.0 m in height) and some curb stones of the hill, especially in the south, were preserved. One of the entrance stones has a circular motif incised near the top. To the east of the hill is a small, flat boulder supported by two smaller stones, but its function is unknown.
Nearby is the Passage Tomb by Knockroe .
