Cloghfin is a portal tomb located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, dating to the Neolithic period. This megalithic monument consists of a burial chamber formed by large standing stones, characteristic of the portal tomb type that was constructed during the later Neolithic, roughly between 3500 and 3000 BCE. The structure would originally have been covered by an earthen mound or cairn, though this covering has largely been removed by time and agricultural activity. Portal tombs of this kind served as communal burial places and represent significant achievements in prehistoric monument construction, reflecting the social organisation and ritual practices of Neolithic communities in Ireland.
