A supposed court tomb at Upper Gortnacart recte Gortnacart Glebe (L. McGill 1964; P.J. McGill 1970) consists of a setting of around a dozen stones protruding above bog-grown land. These stones describe an incomplete oval measuring 4m N-S by 3m E-W. One of the stones is 1m high, and another is 0.5m high. The rest rise just above the surface. The nature of this ancient feature is uncertain. L. McGill 1964, 63; P.J. McGill 1970, 6. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland.
