SCENES from IRELAND

A bit of archaeology in Co. Sligo

5. Megalithic prehistoric tomb of Creevykeel  on the road from Donegal to Sligo and driving through 'Joyce Country' en route to Connemara, Co. Galway

Creevykeel prehistoric court tomb cairn, County Sligo, north of Sligo Town on the N15 Donegal road.

* *

Its a fine example of a court cairn with a full 'court' circle of stones surrounding a wedge cairn type of  burial tomb and Creevykeel tomb is likely to be over 4000 years old.

Shallow pits at the west end of the gallery of the Creevykeel  tomb contained cremated burials, polished axe heads, flint arrowheads and Neolithic pottery. Creevykeel  is a fine prehistoric archaeological site to visit and take a break from the busy north-south main Sligo road.

Driving through 'Joyce Country' near Maam Cross, en route to Connemara, Galway. Beautiful, even on a grey day.
