Rosdoagh Court Tomb

Rosdoagh Stone Circle is a court cairn and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland.

Location
Rosdoagh Court Tomb is located 700 m southwest of Rossport, near the mouth of the Glenamoy River.

History
The court cairn was built in the Neolithic Age. It was originally recorded as a "druid's circle" as it appears to the casual observer to be two concentric rings, however it is today recognised as a court cairn.

On older maps, it is labeled "Stone Circle", but the current classification is court tomb.

Description
Rosdoagh is a large court cairn, with a near-circular kerb of 33 stones.

It once supported a cairn about 18 m in diameter, with sixteen stones surviving from a large central court, with a diameter of about 9 m. A short gallery, orientated roughly SSE-NNW, opens to the court at the SSE.

An oval bank surrounds the whole court cairn, about 27 x.
