Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery occupies several hilltops in the Bricklieve Mountains overlooking Lough Arrow. It is one of the big four passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland, consisting of 14 passage cairns, which are identified by letters. Most of the cairns are round in shape except Cairn E, which is a long oval shape. The tombs were built around 3200-2400 B.C.
