This was the first of the Carrowmore tombs I saw 'in-the-flesh' and I was gobsmacked! What an incredible site the 15m ring of boulders makes. This is very accessable and very visible from the road - you really can't miss it as you drive by.

There is nothing left of the internal structure now, so there is just what appears to be a stone circle. On the east side there is an opening apparently made during a secondary Bronze Age phase of use.

It stands on the edge of a quarry, the spoil of which covers two other tombs.
