macd visited on 27th Aug 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 In desperate need of protection and removal of vegetation which is overwhelming the site. Apart from the lane which goes through the NE court, another track is now going between the two back-to-back galleries of this dual court tomb. No signage or anything but it's easy to find with the 1:50000 map, sheet 24. Access on grass track by gate set back from road beside a small, overgrown ruined building.

Court Tomb in Co. Mayo

Carbad More lies severely ruined in a field to the side of a farm road. A double court tomb, there is almost no trace of the covering cairns. Both galleries are covered in thick vegetation. At either end of the remains of a cairn are the remnants of two almost circular courts, each leading into its own segmented gallery. The larger court is about 25 feet in diameter.
