CREEVYKEEL SHORT FALL

On the N 15 north of Cliffony. Bus Eireann will table you not far from the site. At the edge of the Yeats country (unfortunately, a little along the road), the court cairn in Creevikee (3000 BC) is undoubtedly one of the most impressive - and best preserved - of northern Ireland. The court, with ritual function, traces a broad circle surrounded by stones. The entrance of the house of burial is preceded by a porte door, leading to a corridor that leads to the bedroom itself, marked by two megaliths. Behind this main chamber, two other couloir are arranged, back-to-back, proof of the practice of communal burial. A wonder!
