Situated near Lough Oughter, the north tomb court is 3 metres in depth and 4 metres in width. Gartnanoul is called a dual-tomb because it has two tombs both in line with each other, with each tomb having its own court. It is estimated that when it was built Gartnanoul was 28 metres long and 8 metres wide. The roof stones are missing although the tomb is in good condition and cairn materials are found scattered around the tomb. ()
