A person gestures towards a large screen displaying "Explore Carrowmore" over an image of large stone formations in a grassy landscape. Beneath are buttons with options like "Timeline," "Tradition & Art," and "Accessible Tour." Another person stands partially visible on the right.
Three people are engaged in conversation indoors, in front of an exhibit titled "Carrowmore in Context." The man on the right is gesturing with his hand and wearing a dark suit with a red and blue striped tie. The woman on the left is wearing a black jacket with a green ribbon and badge. The man in the middle is observing, wearing a dark blazer and light shirt. Informational panels about archaeology and history are visible in the background.
A framed display features a realistic reconstruction of a young girl's face created from genetic research. Below her image, text in both Irish and English reads, "What we know about the people of Carrowmore." Additional information is provided about the historical significance and discovery of Carrowmore.
A group of six people are engaged in conversation in a museum or exhibition space. The background displays text about Carrowmore in both Irish and English, with images of landscapes.

I made this photograph of an alignment of Megalithic monuments, a stone circle, a passage tomb, and the grave of Queen Maeve atop Knocknarea seen from Carrowmore, Sligo, IE, on April 25, 2007 using old technology, a Canon PowerShot A710 IS. A story about Queen Maeve is at: https://celt.ucc.ie/published/T301012/index.html These monuments that were built about 6,000 years ago are often in a straight line.

One of the thirty-odd tombs at Carrowmore, this one is a classic dolmen type of passage grave, surrounded by a ring of stones. It has a chunky captsone supported by a number of orthostats. Inside it is a small blond child standing upright. She's wearing a flowery coat and has long curly hair. She'd be about nine I guess. It's a sunny August afternoon (at this precise moment - about twenty minutes before this photo was taken it was pissing down) with blue sky and scudding clouds.
