Description and History – This court tomb isn’t the largest I have seen and is quite ruined but you can still make out the shape and this is a very nice tomb to visit. Many stones are now missing from the outer court and it now forms a semi-circle while it was originally circular. The long and thin gallery is divided, by jamb stones, into many chambers. This is a good tomb to look at to see the overall layout of a court tomb because you can see the whole thing quite easily. None of the stones are much above 1m high. Of course this tomb is part of a much larger Neolithic landscape with other tombs nearby and not far from Carrowkeel. This is well worth a visit, although it is very overgrown at the moment.
Difficulty – This is easy to get to and is on private land but access has been made to the tomb and there is a gate.
