Cloghogle is a portal tomb located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, dating to the Neolithic period. This megalithic monument represents a distinctive form of chambered tomb characteristic of Ireland's early farming communities, constructed with large upright stone slabs forming a burial chamber accessed through a portal entrance. The site reflects the monumental funerary practices of Neolithic peoples in the Irish midlands and borderlands, where such tombs served as communal burial places and enduring territorial markers for agricultural communities. The tomb's construction and use span the period broadly contemporary with other portal tombs across the island, contributing to understanding of Neolithic settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in the region.
