NI Water completed restoration work on the Ally Hill court tomb, a 5,500-year-old Neolithic monument in County Tyrone. The site sits beside the Lough Bradan Water Treatment Works on land owned by NI Water and leased long-term to the Forest Service.

The Drumquin Historical Society requested NI Water's help to protect the tomb, which had become overgrown with heather and trees. NI Water secured licences under the Historic Monuments and Archaeological Objects (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 from the Historic Monuments Branch of the Department for Communities and the Forest Service.

A team led by Anthony McGirr, Wastewater Networks Area Manager for the Fermanagh and Omagh area, cleared heather and cut back branches. Dr. Vicki Ginn from the Historic Environment Division provided guidance and details on the site's history.

The court tomb features an open forecourt leading to roofed burial chambers. The Historic Monuments Branch registers the monument.

Seamus Gormley, Chairperson of the Drumquin Historical Society, stated the project will preserve the tomb for future generations. He thanked NI Water staff Kevin McAleer and Francis Bradley for planning support, along with Lowry Building and Civil Engineering for providing a welfare vehicle.
