Court tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Dating to the Neolithic period, court tombs represent one of the earliest monumental building traditions in Ireland and are characterised by their distinctive forecourt or courtyard area fronting the burial chamber. These monuments served as communal burial places and reflect the social organisation and ritual practices of early farming communities in the fourth and third millennia before the Common Era. The court tomb tradition is particularly concentrated in the northern regions of Ireland, making sites such as this significant for understanding the spread and development of Neolithic megalithic cultures across the island.
