Superb! Great angle. Much more useful than the other picture. Definitely the same place for one thing.

Almost definitely a court tomb too and not a stone circle! I shall definitely have to get over there.

Signposting some court tombs as 'stone circles' is still quite common even this beastie is sign posted as such on at least one sign:

You can see why it may have been done, but there's no excuse for it these days ;-)

Thanks for posting the image.

Hi, yeah sorry about the delay, I had to buy a scanner in the end - its easier than leaving the house. btw In Carnac there is a similar place - a long rectangle of stones about 50 metres away from a giant menhir - cant remember then name for the life of me - must go back to take some proper photos.

you might be able to help me actually, What is the history of theses Irish Court Tombs? and have any been excavated and where can I find info on dates and peoples who used them?
The guy that took the photo asks me regularly if I know of anymore info on this particular site, which is well.. a bit hard to come byso any info in general would be appreciated.
