Frommer's Review
Atop a hill overlooking Lough Arrow, this ancient cemetery is gorgeous, isolated, and frequently empty. Its 14 cairns, dolmens, and stone circles date from the Stone Age (3000 B.C.), and it's easy to feel that history, standing among the cold, ageless rocks. The walk up from the parking lot takes about 20 minutes, so be ready to get a little exercise. But it's worth the effort. This is a simple site -- no visitor center, no tea shop, no admission fee -- nothing but ancient mystery.
