What is recorded here

Cloghabracka is a court tomb in Belville, County Sligo, Ireland. Built roughly five thousand years ago during the Neolithic period, the structure used large upright stones capped with massive horizontal slabs to create a communal burial monument. The name preserves the Irish word for stone, suggesting the ancient monument gave the place its identity before the townland existed. Seán Ó Nualláin documented this site in his 1989 survey of County Sligo megalithic tombs.
