Court tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, dating to the fourth millennium BCE. The site represents a characteristic example of the court tomb type, a distinctive Irish megalithic burial structure featuring a rectangular or trapezoidal forecourt area that opens into one or more burial chambers. Court tombs served as communal burial places for Neolithic communities and are among the earliest monumental architecture in Ireland, reflecting the sophisticated social organisation and ritual practices of early farming societies. The monument's construction and use contribute to understanding Neolithic settlement patterns and funerary practices in the Ulster region during the early prehistoric period.
