Burial Cairn No. 4, Carrowkeel, Co. Sligo: A Timeless Connection with the Past This evocative photograph captures the awe-inspiring presence of Burial Cairn No. 4 at Carrowkeel in County Sligo, Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the Neolithic period, these ancient tombs are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ireland. The cairn, a mound of stones used as a burial site, rises majestically against the backdrop of the rugged, rolling hills. The man sitting atop the cairn provides a sense of scale, emphasizing the monumental size and grandeur of this ancient structure. The image invites us to imagine the lives of those who built and used these tombs over 4,000 years ago. Located in County Sligo, Carrowkeel is home to over 60 tombs, making it one of the most significant Neolithic sites in Ireland. The tombs are believed to have been used for both burial and ceremonial purposes. The site is thought to have been in use from approximately 3800 BC to 3200 BC. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era long gone. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
