Dual court tomb is a Neolithic megalithic monument located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument belongs to the court tomb tradition, a distinctive form of chambered cairn dating to the Neolithic period, particularly the fourth millennium BCE, when such structures served as communal burial facilities for early farming communities. Court tombs are characterized by their forecourt or courtyard area, typically defined by standing stones, which leads to one or more burial chambers constructed from orthostatic stones and roofed with capstones, all covered by a cairn of stone. The dual designation of this example indicates its possession of two courtyard and chamber systems, a feature found in some examples of this tomb type in the Ulster region, reflecting variation in Neolithic funerary practices.
