Anyone having interest in Bronze age sites must visit Carrowmore!!! 4000 BC grave sites.....Incredible!!! More

Situated at the base of knocknarea and 1 mile from Strandhill this is the largest cemetary of its kind in ireland - over 7,000 years old and pre-dating the pyramids... amazing few hours spent here..highly recommended. More

An area of great historical interest, especially to those of us whose ancestors walked this way. A moving experience for us. Fascinating information is also displayed at the visitors centre, and we found the staff there very helpful with our enquiries.

Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in history and our... More

(There are some excellent web-sites that can explain far better than me!) However, I will... More

If you are considering visiting Carrowmore, it's hard to tell you what to expect. In one sense, there is almost nothing there -- a vast grassy field dotted here and there with boulders, and on the horizon, low mountains crowned with piles of more stones. In another sense, there is almost all of human history and destiny laid out on... More
