Carrowkeel, county Sligo

A grainy photograph taken with a primitive Kodak Instamatic camera in 1972, looking towards Slieve Daene and
(to the left) Knocknarea, with Maeve's cairn just visible on the top.

Another grainy photograph, from a different spot, also looking N towards Maeve's Cairn and Knocknarea.

A similar view taken twenty years later.

Looking West to Cairn B from Cairn E.

Cairn O in Doonaveeragh townland, and Lough Arrow behind, with Mullaghfarna hut/tent-circles
at the bottom of the picture.

Looking towards the escarpment of Doonaveragh (with cairn P to the right)
from one of the rings of (decayed limestone) stones in Mullaghfarnagh
which may have been where tents for a ceremonial gathering were pitched and weighted down.

Cairn P, digitally enhanced from a photograph by Sam Moore.

All but the first and last photos are by Tom FourWinds.
