Gartnanoul is a megalithic court tomb located in Killykeen Forest Park, Loughtee Upper, County Cavan, Ireland.[1] Situated near Lough Oughter, the north tomb court is 3 metres in depth and 4 metres in width. Gartnanoul is called a dual-tomb because it has two tombs both in line with each other, with each tomb having its own court.[2] It is estimated that when it was built Gartnanoul would have been 28 metres long, and 8 metres wide. The roof stones are missing although the tomb is in good condition and cairn materials are found scattered around the tomb.[3]
