Creggandevesky, Co. Tyrone is one of the finest and best preserved court tombs in the 32 counties. Although smaller than Creeveykeel in Sligo, this site feels like it has been untouched since it was built, apart from the missing roof and some nasty graffiti.

There are three chambers in a trapezoidal cairn, the portal stones and lintel remain in-situ and the dry stone walling is in very good repair all the way around the cairn.

The tomb faces out over a small lake from a knoll a dozen or so metres above the waters edge. The tomb was in fact found during peat cutting, previously only a few stones were visible above the ground and it makes it all the more likely that even more major sites are waiting to be discovered but thankfully would be best preserved below ground.

The site is probably best visited in the morning to mid-day, the site is well signposted from the main road from Cookstown to Omagh but, as with many sites, the last few hundred metres are the biggest hurdle as the ground is very boggy and possibly occupied by cattle. Brings good water proof boots and take the track around the south of the lake, the north pathway leads to a marsh surrounded by barbed wire.
