Magheraghanrush Court Tomb (Magheraghanrush - Deerpark Court Tomb) was built c. 3000 BC.
Local legend has it as a Giant's Grave or Druid's Altar, or the burial site of Eógan Bél (d. AD 542), King of Connacht, although the Middle Irish poem Caithréim Cellaig says he was buried on Knocknarea and reburied on an island in Lough Gill.
