Loughcrew

The Loughcrew Cairns (Neolithic passage graves), dating back some 4,000 to 5,000 years, are the largest complex of Passage Graves in Ireland.

The Cairns are Megalithic structures containing symbolic engravings. Like other passage graves in Ireland, this one has clear astrological alignments as the main chamber is illuminated at sunrise on the autumn Equinox, with the sun lighting up the chamber and relvealing the Megalithic art inside.
