| Ballyalbaanagh - Rath |
This court tomb is not marked on the OS map, nor does it feature in many publications. t is difficult to reach and quite ruinous, but it does have some special qualities.
The tomb is now located in the corner of a large rectangular enclosure known locally as The Ri. The walls of this are now collapsing, but I was told that they were kept in good order until relatively recently.
The kerb on one side of the small cairn is present, as is enough of the court to appreicate its form and size. There are façade stone on one side of the court. The remains of the gallery are buried in cairn material and the rear of the kerb can be seen just inside the enclosure wall. The outside dimension of this tomb are quite small. It is only 10m long and 5m wide. The gallery would be no more than 3m in length.
