What is recorded here
The story claims a woman named Bhaoisgin and a second tomb nearby, but the clear facts point to a long sandstone court built around 3500 BC, reused later, and still standing beside the road. Its width, entrance, chambers and surviving roof stones make it one of the finest court tombs in Ireland. Any human name attached to it should remain a local story, not a proven account of who was buried there.
Court Tomb is recorded as a archaeological place in County Donegal. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
