When I was last at Kilclooney More (County Donegal) I did not get chance to look at this court tomb. It's easy to find (opposite the only farmhouse on the stretch of road) and the farmer does not mind you going into the rough field to take a look - just ask over the road.
The majority of the walls of the gallery are in situ and are quite massive. Some of them are nearly 2m tall. The alignment of the gallery is west-east with theremains of the court at the east end. This alignment appears to point directly at the larger, more famous portal tomb in this same townland. The court is represented by a few stones of the northern arm. The door lintel has fallen forward from the two massive entrance jambs and now lies in the court itself. Another roofstone, this one apparently gabled, still rests on the walls, but has toppled over and blocks the gallery.
