Carnanbane is a damaged court tomb in the Ballybriest area. It is immediately to the side of the road, easily accessible and in state care. It looks very imposing as you approach, the lie of the land makes the stones look much higher than they are. The cairn, the outlines of the chamber and a part of the court are still visible. It has been excavated, in 1937, although some of it was later removed in land clearance.
Just to the south west there is a wedge tomb visible - it is still half buried in peat.
The Ballybriest dolmen is on the other side of the road.
There are a number of sites in Northern Ireland called Carnanbane; this site is near Ballybriest
