Beyond the grave

Tomb_Frame

An ancient passage tomb cemetery, Carrowkeel Megalithic Site in County Sligo contains 14 cairns, all built between 3200 and 2400 BC.

Constructed from well-trimmed slabs of limestone, the passage cairns are spread across the hilltops of the Bricklieve Mountains, and are some of the best examples of Irish Neolithic monuments.
