Ken Williams > 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.
Ken Williams > 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. Click here to see more photos of this tomb.
Ken Williams > Clontygora Court Tomb, Co. Armagh Click on the photo for a larger view. Clontygora court tomb, just across the border from the republic in Armagh, is a very impressive court tomb, the court stones are high and placed in a way that could only be described as sculptural.

Ken Williams > Ballymacdermot, Co. Armagh. Click on the photo for a larger view. If you like to take risks you can chance driving up the narrow and twisty road that brings you to this gem of a court tomb, if you would like to visit this tomb in the snow, book a helicopter! The views are stunning, and the tomb, although lacking a roof, is in very good condition. The little information board at the entrance claims this tomb was damaged by maneuvering tanks during the second world war! Click here to see more photos of this tomb.
