Located in County Sligo along the Wild Atlantic Way, Carrowmore is one of the most significant prehistoric landscapes in Europe. It is the largest and oldest collection of Neolithic tombs in Ireland, with over 30 surviving monuments dating back almost 6,000 years. The site forms part of the ‘Passage Tomb Landscape of Sligo’, which has been placed on Ireland’s Tentative List for UNESCO World Heritage status.
A newly upgraded visitor centre at Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery was officially opened on 1 April 2026. The refurbished visitor centre represents a significant strategic investment in Ireland’s heritage tourism infrastructure.
The upgraded centre provides improved interpretation of the site’s unique archaeological significance, alongside new visitor amenities including enhanced accessibility, upgraded toilet facilities, an all-weather shelter, and improved internal and external layouts designed to optimise visitor flow and comfort.
