Cohaw

Cohaw is a Neolithic double court tomb located 4 kilometres south-east of Cootehill, County Cavan [1]. Cohaw was excavated by archaeologist, Howard Kilbride-Jones, in 1949 [1]. The excavation finds consisted of teeth, skull fragments, and the cremated remains of a child [1]. The tomb is known locally as the "Giant's Grave" and was originally built as two single tombs [1]. The south court is two thirds of a circle in shape, while the north court is u-shaped [1]. The northern court contains two post holes that would have held large pillar-stones [1]. The tomb stands in an 82 ft (25m) long rectangular cairn [1].
