Location
- Dermot and Grania's Bed; Glasmullagh; Ardstraw; Omagh.
Description
On a terrace of ground on the west side of a scarp hill, with
excellent views west. The remains consist of a chamber, party
buried in peat, orientated NE-SW with 1 lintel in situ &
the possibility of outer walling. The visible remains are 3.3m
long, 1.9m wide at the front & 2.1m wide max. at the rear.
The lintel is 1.65m long , 0.95m wide & 0.2m thick. Although
the chamber looks parallel sided, it actually narrows by 0.2m
towards the NE end, supporting the interpretation as a wedge
tomb.
Location - Gortin;
Bodoney Lower; Omagh.
Description
On a small esker on ground rising to NE. This appears to be
a long cairn, which is much disturbed - possibly for use as
a sheepfold & possibly by the ordinance survey for a trig.
point. The orientation is E/W & it slopes uphill to the
west. The main disturbance of the cairn is along the south edge
to the west. Along the east and part of the north, the cairn
is still covered in blanket peat. There are some firm large
stones in the body of the cairn, but not sufficient to see a
pair of jambs or a chamber & there is one large stone at
the west end.

Location -
Clogherny; Donaghedy; Strabane.
Description
On steeply sloping, west facing ground, with fine views all
round. The site was destroyed some years ago during drainage
work. It consisted of two thin slabs set on edge c.2.5m long
& 0.35m apart. When removed each was noted to be c.0.5m
deep. No further stones were seen. The farmer remarked that
the feature was permanently full of water due to the proximity
of a nearby stream.
