Details

The Court Tomb of Moyad (locally known as Rush's Cove) is located in the homonymous Townland (Magh Fhada Irish) north of Kilkeel in County Down in Northern Ireland. Court Tombs are among the megalithic chamber graves (English chambered tombs) of the British Isles. They are found with approximately 400 copies almost exclusively in Ulster in the north of Ireland or Northern Ireland. The remains of this north-south oriented Court Tomb consist primarily of the divided into three chambers gallery. The gallery is about 9.5 meters long and 2.0 meters wide. The northernmost chamber is smaller than the other two. The gallery is made of granite blocks, many of which were split before construction. These stones can be clearly seen in the side walls of the chambers, where the dividing surfaces point inwards. Column pairs divide the gallery. A field wall near the south end obscures the remains of an atrium. The Court Tomb is located in a small thorn bush and many boulders are located east of the gallery
