Court HenGe

An open circular enclosure of stone: incorporating seating in its inner circumference, with an earthen embankment falling behind, inspired by the Megalithic monuments.

ARTWORK

The sculpture is located at Ballycastle Holiday Cotages, in a green area surrounded by houses. It is close to the megalithic court cairn at Ballyglass. The sculpture acts as a meeting place. The grassy mound structure encloses a central courtyard, flanked by two smaller enclosures, all lined with vertical Lacken sandstone flags.
