Dooeys Cairn (Ballymacaldrack), Co. Antrim
Click on the photo to enlarge.
A nice example of a court tomb that has been extensively excavated yielding many artefacts and cremated burials placed in pits inside the galley. Although now a little boxed in by the surrounding fence this tomb has very easy access and has lots of information posted on two information boards.
