On the opposite side of the exposed limestone pavement from Aghamore (County Leitrim) is this unusual arrangement. Its basic make-up is a long cairn aligned N-S, but in four places the stones seem to be more concentrated: Was is four cairns in a row?
At the north end a couple of upright slabs may indicate a chamber, in which case it could be a court tomb, but it's unlikely we'll ever know. However, the 41m long cairn does have a trapezoidal shape - 11m wide at the north and 7m at the south and there are a few sections along the side that could be revetting.
I found it odd that the limestone was exposed between the two tombs. Does this area have some special qualities that the builders knew about?
