The Ballymacdermot Court Tomb is a window into the past, waiting for you at the top of Ballymacdermot Mountain. As you look at the ancient stones, you can almost feel the thousands of years that have passed since they were built. These stone sentinels, erected between 4000 and 2500 BC, have seen countless sunrises over the valley and speak of a time when this place may have been sacred. The views from up here stretch far over the rolling hills of County Armagh and it's easy to imagine why Stone Age people chose this spot.
