Court tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The site dates to the Neolithic period, roughly between 3500 and 2500 BCE, representing one of the earliest monumental burial traditions in Ireland. Court tombs are characterised by their distinctive forecourt or courtyard area, from which a chambered passage leads to burial chambers, a design type concentrated particularly in the northern half of Ireland. The monument at Omagh exemplifies this architectural tradition and contributes to our understanding of early Neolithic communal burial practices and social organisation in prehistoric Ulster.
