Click on the photo for a larger view.
Ireland's worst kept secret, Loughcrew is just off the mainstream tourist route but still draws large amounts of visitors to see its well preserved cairns and fine megalithic artwork. The Loughcrew hills are strewn with cairns, standing stones, kists and other burials but the center pieces are Cairns T and L on opposite peaks and their ruined satellite tombs. Cairn T is open to the public and hosts a large amount of carvings in its central and recessed chambers. Anyone who visits Newgrange and would like a more intimate and less commercial experience should make this their next stop.
