Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery

Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery contains some thirty visible tombs of sixty identified by archaeologists and is the largest megalithic tomb cemetery in Ireland. There is some controversy about the age of the site but it is thought to date back to five and half and six and a half thousand years. There is a restored cottage on the site which has an exhibition and information about the cemetery and is open from late April to mid-October.
