Loughcrew Cairns

A Neolithic passage tomb complex set on a hilltop with panoramic views. The site is known as 'Sliabh na Caillí' (Mountain of the Witch) and features several cairns, including Cairn T with its rare solar alignment during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Great for kids who love history, exploring, and climbing rocks. The site is open air and requires a short uphill walk. No restrooms or cafes on site, so plan ahead. Suitable for all ages but younger children may need help navigating uneven ground. The experience is more about exploration and imagination than interactive exhibits. Free to visit, with parking available at the base. Bring water, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing.
