Creevykeel Court Tomb, Neolithic court tomb in Sligo Municipal Borough District, Ireland.
The stone structure extends 55 meters in length with an oval-shaped court measuring 15 meters long and 9 meters wide.
The tomb dates from 4000-2500 BC when farming communities from continental Europe established settlements across Ireland, marking a shift in agricultural practices.
The 1935 Harvard Archaeological Mission uncovered cremation burials, pottery, stone axes, flint tools, and clay artifacts within the chambers.
The archaeological site stands near Creevykeel crossroads, 50 meters north of the N15 road connecting Donegal to Sligo.
Early Christian metalworkers repurposed sections of the tomb, constructing a smelting furnace that left visible remnants in the eastern chamber.
