The best two examples I know of are in the passage grave at Newgrange near Dublin, and at Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey.
The inscriptions at Newgrange consist of spirals mainly inside the passage itself, whereas at Bryn Celli Ddu the inscriptions are squiggly parallel lines on a standing stone, this is now outside the main burial chamber, but may origionally have been inside before the chamber was reconstructed.
Being on Anglesey this has probably had some Irish influence, as has most of the neolithic funerary art.
Hope this is of some help
