Cloghogle is a Neolithic court tomb situated near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Court tombs represent a distinctive megalithic tradition of the Irish Neolithic period, typically dating to around 3500 to 3000 BCE, and are characterized by their forecourt arrangement and segmented burial chambers. The monument consists of stone-built chambers designed to serve as a communal burial place for a settled community, reflecting the architectural sophistication and social organization of Neolithic societies in the island of Ireland.
