Image of Carrowkilleen (Court Tomb) by ryaner

Writing in 1961, De Valera and Nualláin have this to say: “The site, the most extensive megalithic monument known in Mayo, is well preserved.” They go on to describe a gigantic, multi-chambered, what is most likely, triple court tomb. There was no-one in at the cottage in whose garden the tomb resides so we didn’t feel confident to vault the fences and were left with this poor view from the adjoining field.

Again came across this en route to a motorcycle photorally location, no doubt a fine court tomb exists under all the earth and vegetation but for the moment not much to see unfortunately
