The trail features archaeological sites such as megalithic tombs and the Deserted Village, remnants of nearly 100 stone cottages abandoned after the Great Famine.

Slievemore Deserted Village is a haunting place. Around 100 ruined houses make up the village, all just had one room with east facing doors. If you look inside you can still see the tethering rings where the animals were kept in the home overnight.
