These are the only known barrows of their kind on the Curragh.

The second in the pair of bowl barrows at this site, it is less prominent than its neighbour at ~1 meter in height.

The Barrow is ~1.5 meters high by eye.

The barrow furthest from the road, elegantly domed with a well defined ditch, amazingly it’s not recorded in the os map despite its prominence!

Looks better from this angle, somehow more substantial.

Looking down from the outcrop from whence the stones of the tomb probably came towards the front of the western tomb.

What seems like a small subsidiary chamber between the two main tombs. (On second thoughts, this is probably the back end of the western gallery, the stone in the centre being the backstone. Unlike in most dual court tombs, the galleries are not in line with each other.) The stone at top left is probably the backstone of the eastern gallery.

The front of the western tomb with a couple of court stones flanking the entrance jambs.

The front of the eastern gallery. The stone to the left of the well-matched entrance jambstones is a fallen roofstone methinks.

Thorn trees have colonised the front end of both tombs. Neither tomb has much of their court remaining.

The remaining stones of Drumhart dual court tomb are hidden away at the bottom of a small incline.

Front on at the pleasingly handsome entrance, a consolation for the lack of an extant capstone.

The displaced capstone leans against the nortnern portal and the backstone. It is thought that there may have been a second, supporting capstone that held the primary capstone in place

Looking across the small chamber from over the backstone and out towards the front of the monument. Both sidestones have been removed.

Two portal stones, 1.7 metres tall, split by a doorstone, 1.5 metres tall and the displaced capstone, leaning on one of the portals and the backstone.
