The megalithic cemetery of Carrowkeel, consisting of a complex of neolithic passage tombs, is situated on the Bricklieve Mountains. Despite their relatively low height, these hills are remarkably rugged. See Máire MacNeill, 'The Festival of Lughnasa' (pp. 187-88) for details of the festive assembly at Carricknahorna or Skein Hill on the southern edge of the Bricklieve Mountains.   Bricklieve Mountains is the 1113th highest place in Ireland.

A magical walk on the miners trail
by sperrinlad  30 May 2016
a magical walk as part of the historic miners trail, i fell in love with the place and spent quite some time inside the ancient tombs on the summit, these tombs are thought to predate the Egyptian pyramids, they remained sealed from their date of construction until the 1930's.
