Parc le Breos

Parc le Breos is a Neolithic cairn site is comprised of a wedge shaped tomb reached by forecourt leading to burial chambers. The monument is well maintained and dates back to about 5,500 BC. Archaeological digs have found the remains of over forty men, women and children in the tomb. The site is located off the A4118 west of Parkmill turning left at the Heritage Centre and then the narrow road to a car park. The cairn is a short walk into Parc le Breos Woods and very accessible.

Our Visit

We were surprised by the size of this tomb. Clearly an important place for our ancestors and good information provided by picture boards adjacent to the site. It is in a beautiful meadow location and it really is worth taking the time to take a walk in this perfect setting. We were lucky with the warm summers day. Highly recommended.
