Stop 2 (b) Court Tomb ruins

As we continue to Stop 2 (b) we arrive at the first ancient tomb at Blane-more. In the undergrowth are the remains of a stone-age court-tomb, of which the Killala bay region has the highest concentration of such megalithic tombs anywhere. The tomb consists of an arc shaped open entrance, to what was an originally an earth or stone covered chamber. Another field wall is seen nearby on the other side of the path. Granite boulders were preferred by the Neolithic builders, but here are also mixed with some red sandstone rocks..
