Court tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, dating to the Neolithic period, approximately 4000–3000 BCE. These monuments are characterised by their distinctive court or forecourt area, typically defined by standing stones, which opens into one or more burial chambers constructed from stone slabs. The court tomb represents an important funerary tradition in Neolithic Ireland and demonstrates the architectural sophistication and communal labour capabilities of early farming communities.
