cohaw court cairn

A stay in Cootehill would not be complete without a visit to Cohaw Court Cairn.
A fine example of a double court-tomb, looking as if two single court-tombs were placed back to back. There is a semicircular forecourt at each end, with five burial chambers between them.

The tomb, which was excavated in 1949, stands in a rectangular stone mound delineated by kerb-stones. A stone Age pottery vessel was found during the excavations.
