Image of Creenagh (Mohill By.) (Court Tomb) by ryaner

Looking east. This was a struggle to get to – the terrain is very rough and just south of here, in the direction of the second court tomb in the townland, it turns very marshy. The whole vicinity is up for sale, endangering these monuments.

Looking west across the court. The prostrate stone in the foreground was probably part of the court.

The gallery entrance – the stone on the left very much jamb-like, the one on the right not so. Most of the court stones are missing and I reckon the second entrance jambstone is gone the same way.

From the back of the gallery looking out into the court. The ground level has probably risen since the tomb was built.

From just outside the court, south down the gallery. The massive beech tree is the dominant feature here at this diminutive Leitrim monument.
