Creevykeel Goort Cairn

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:15:09

Shaped like a lobster's claw, this prehistoric court tomb encloses several burial chambers. The structure was originally built around 2500 BC, with several more chambers added later. Once in the unroofed oval court, smaller visitors can duck under the stone-shielded entrance to reach the site's core. The sylvan setting has distant ocean views.

The tomb is 1.5km north of Cliffony on the N15.
