Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery

Very interesting archeological site, located on an open field. Structures date back to a period 6000-8000 B.C. and are located just outside Sligo, on a rural area. The visitor center is staffed with very helpful people and provides for toilets and an outdoor cafe.

Very interesting place. Don’t miss the circles etched in stone. It’s a walking tour on your own. It’ll be great when the centre is open and someone to explain it all.

Cathedrals and Castles are wonderful, but walking around a Megalithic cemetery gave me such a feeling of wonder. To see how these rocks were arranged over 6000 years ago and to read about the kilos of cremated remains conn me to my roots in Ire.

Highly recommend a stop here. Can spend as long or as little as you wish walking around the site. Easy/free parking and 5€ admission. Cleanest bathrooms!

This place is amazing.It's about one thousand to fifteen hundred years older than the pyramids.It appears, it was some kind of a burial ground.It's well worth seeing truly is amazing

I confirm Sam's information, the big cairn and the dolmens on the field are visitable, only the Visitor Center is closed. Theoretically it should be opened soon. I guess that the toilet was not in use when we visited the site, but a young guy offered fresheners, cafe, beverages and some snacks.

There wasn't much to it. I normally like historical sites, but there wasn't really anything to see. The new center is supposed open soon. I could see displays inside, but I couldn't enter. It might be fantastic once the OPW officially opens the building.

Cool free experience. You can see Queen Maeve’s tomb at the top of the nearby mountain.
