Rosdoagh Stone Circle is a court cairn and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland.[1]
Rosdoagh Court Tomb is located 700m (2,300feet) southwest of Rossport, near the mouth of the Glenamoy River.[2] [3]
The court cairn was built in the Neolithic Age. It was originally recorded as a "druid's circle" as it appears to the casual observer to be two concentric rings, however it is today recognised as a court cairn.[4]
On older maps, it is labeled "Stone Circle", but the current classification is court tomb.
Rosdoagh is a large court cairn, with a near-circular kerb of 33 stones.
It once supported a cairn about 18m (59feet) in diameter, with sixteen stones surviving from a large central court, with a diameter of about 9m (30feet). A short gallery,orientated roughly SSE-NNW, opens to the court at the SSE.
An oval bank surrounds the whole court cairn, about 27x.[5]
