Recorded monuments

• RO004-062 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  At the crest of a N-facing slope in a clearing in mixed woodland overlooking Lough Meelagh, which is c. 120m to the N. This is a two-chambered gallery (L 8.2m NW-SE; Wth 1.15-1.6m NE-SW), of which the NW chamber survives complete with jamb stones, but the other chamber that was attached to a circular court (diam. 4.7-4.8m) is largely missing. Eight orthostats of the court remain upright, including the jamb-stones of the entrance to the gallary, and the court was probably open at SE. No lintels and no evidence of a cairn survive. See the attached view taken from the SE. See attached document with plan and sections of the monument. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
