Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery is a prehistoric site located in the county of Sligo, Ireland. It is one of the largest and most significant megalithic cemeteries in the country, dating back to the Neolithic period, around 4000-2500 BC. The site consists of over 60 tombs, including passage tombs, dolmens, and stone circles, spread out over an area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers.
The tombs at Carrowmore are constructed from large stones, some weighing up to 40 tons, and are believed to have been used for communal burials. The passage tombs, in particular, are notable for their intricate designs and carvings, which depict various symbols and motifs, such as spirals, zigzags, and concentric circles.
In addition to the tombs, the site also contains a number of standing stones, which are thought to have been used for astronomical observations and rituals. These stones are aligned with the movements of the sun and moon, and are believed to have been used to mark important dates in the Neolithic calendar.
Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery is an important archaeological site, providing valuable insights into the lives and beliefs of Ireland's early inhabitants. It is also a popular tourist attraction, attracting visitors from around the world who come to marvel at the ancient structures and learn about the history of the area.
