Cairn Capstone Carrowkeel Close Displaced Sligo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a close-up view of the entrance to No. 4 Cairn at Carrowkeel, located in County Sligo, Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this ancient site is a remarkable testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The image reveals the intricate details of the cairn's entrance, which is framed by two large, weathered stones. The entrance is adorned with a displaced capstone, which once likely served as the cairn's original cover. The capstone, now lying to the side, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the site. Carrowkeel, a collection of over sixty megalithic tombs, is a significant archaeological site that dates back to around 4000 BC. These tombs are believed to have been used for burial and ritual practices during the Neolithic period. The site's unique architecture and intricate design have attracted the attention of archaeologists, historians, and tourists alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when megalithic structures were a vital part of daily life. The intricate details of the entrance and the displaced capstone serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the ancient civilizations that once inhabited this land.
