Giant's Grave is a Neolithic court tomb located near Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, dating to the fourth millennium BCE. The monument comprises a megalithic burial structure characteristic of the court tomb tradition, featuring a forecourt area leading to an internal burial chamber constructed from stone slabs and roofed with capstones. Court tombs of this type served as communal burial places for Neolithic communities and typically show evidence of repeated use over extended periods. The site represents an important example of early Neolithic monumental architecture in Ulster and contributes to understanding the burial practices and social organisation of Ireland's earliest farming populations.
