Aghanaglack
The Aghanaglack (also called Boho ) Double- Court Tomb is a c. 3500 BC. A megalithic complex that originated in BC and is located west of Enniskillen , in the forest of Ballintempo in the townland of Aghanaglack ( Irish Achadh na Glaice ) in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland . Court Tombs are among the megalithic chamber tombs ( English chambered tombs ) of the British Isles . With about 400 copies they are almost exclusively in Ulster in the north of Ireland.
The Court Tomb has two slightly angled galleries with double chambers that were probably already planned during construction. These are divided by side posts and a low curb. The monument, the stone mound of which has been completely demolished, has an east-west orientation and the two touching galleries are divided by a huge stone. Only the southern side of the eastern forecourt has been preserved, while the western forecourt, whose facade stones (like all other stones) have been chipped off, with a large orthostat at the end of the southern arch is preserved.
