Carrowmere Megalithic Cemetery is one of the largest clusters of megalithic tombs in Ireland. There are the remains of over 35 impressive passage tombs that were constructed over 6,000 years ago. It is worth stepping off the bike and taking a look.

Carrowmore (Irish: An Cheathrú Mhór, 'the great quarter') is a large group of megalithic monuments. They were built in the 4th millennium BC, during the Neolithic (New Stone Age). There are about thirty surviving tombs from about 80.
There may have been more monuments originally, but some fell victim to quarrying and field clearance during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
The tombs are numbered - a list is provided at the entrance.
