Creevykeel Court Tomb

Creevykeel Court Tomb is situated at the foothills of Tievebaun Mountain (Irish: Taobh Bán) near the sea at Mullaghmore. Dating from the Neolithic period (c. 4000 – 2500 BC). It is noted as being one of the finest examples of a court tomb remaining in Ireland. This is a large and impressive court tomb. The entrance into the court is at the east, and consists of a narrow passage-way lined with upright stones. The tomb is a good example of it's type, consisting of a cairn of about 55 metres enclosing an oval court and two burial chambers. To the west are the remains of three single chambered tombs. Archaeology from the site has uncovered Neolithic and Early Bronze Age pottery and other artefacts.

The site if off the N15 north of Sligo towards Bundoran and just north of Creevykeel crossroads close to Cliffoney village, County Sligo (Irish: Cliafuine, Contae Shligigh).
