Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery is the oldest and the densest concentration of Neolithic tombs in Ireland. Remains of over 35 passage tombs are found here, constructed almost 6,000 years ago. They are even older than the ones at Knowth and Newgrange.

Most of the formations are rock cairns. There is one mound covered in stones. It rained off and on while we were there. The formations were spread out so we got to do some walking. There were sheep grazing nearby.
