Kilclooney More

Kilclooney More belongs to the low-lying land in the west of County Donegal that is prominent for its concentration of court and portal tombs [1]. In the Neolithic period this land was fertile due to a warmer and drier climate, supporting farming communities who crafted ceramics and built tombs which are still described as ‘magnificent’ [1]. The smaller portal tomb of Kilclooney More is located west of the R261, in a shallow basin north of the Abberachrin River [1]. The eastern portal stone is missing but otherwise the tomb is well preserved [1]. The chamber is comparatively small, measuring 1.45 m × 1.2 m, pointed in SSE direction [1].
