Cloghanmore

A large tomb of the enclosed, full-court type, with parallel twin galleries placed at the western end of the court, each divided into two chambers. One of the galleries is roofed with a heavy capstone. Two small unsegmented chambers at the eastern end of the court have entrance stones decorated with curvilinear motifs recalling the megalithic art of the passage-tombs, but prolonged weathering has almost obliterated the designs. The court is oval in plan and measures about 45 feet in length. An entrance passageway on the east is flanked by orthostats of monumental size. Much of the long tapered cairn survives, but owes its present form to considerable tidying-up of the monument in the last century. The site is situated in marshy ground and access is difficult in wet weather.
