Court Tomb by Killaspugbrone
The Court Tomb of Killaspugbrone ( Irish Cill Easpaig Bhróin ) is located near the Sligo Regional Airport in Strandhill , west of Sligo in County Sligo in Ireland .
Only one chamber of the Court Tomb , the access to which is oriented to the east in the direction of a ring fort or rath about 500 meters away, has been preserved. It is 2.2 m long, 1.9 m wide and the severed orthostats are only 1.0 m high. A stone, likely from another chamber, is next to the chamber and is of the same shape and size as the others. The grave is slowly being swallowed up by the surrounding vegetation.
