Carnmore is a court tomb, a type of Neolithic megalithic monument located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Court tombs, which date to the Neolithic period roughly between 3500 and 3000 BCE, represent one of the earliest monumental burial traditions in Ireland and are characterized by a forecourt area leading to burial chambers constructed from stone. The Carnmore court tomb reflects the architectural and burial practices of early farming communities in the Ulster region during the fourth millennium BCE. Such monuments served as communal burial places and remain significant evidence for understanding settlement patterns, social organization, and funerary practices among Ireland's earliest sedentary populations.
