Carrowmore, Archaeological site in County Sligo, Ireland
The megalithic cemetery contains remains of 35 passage tombs arranged in a circular pattern across the Coolera Peninsula landscape.
During the Neolithic period around 4000 BC, early farming communities constructed these burial structures using large stones and earth mounds.
The central tomb called Listoghil features geometric patterns carved into its entrance stone, representing the site's only known megalithic art.
The visitor center provides guided tours from March through October, with tickets available for purchase between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily.
Scientific studies revealed that the satellite tombs surrounding the main structure align with the winter solstice sunrise and specific astronomical events.
