Tibradden

Tibradden

Tibradden (or "Tigh Bródáin" in Irish) is a sacred megalithic site in Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin, Ireland on top of a mountain with the same name. An Early Bronze Age burial was discovered in 1849. Tibradden Mountain is 1,540 feet (462 m) high. It is a national heritage site.

On the peak of this mountain, there is a fake "prehistoric passage grave", constructed in the 19th century, with a long narrow entrance to a circular chamber.
