Carrowmore Megalithic Site: A Glimpse into Ireland's Ancient Past - Circle, Carrowmore, Sligo. No. 49 This evocative photograph captures the mystical allure of Circle, Carrowmore, Sligo. No. 49, a mesmerizing stone circle located in the heart of County Sligo, Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, Carrowmore is one of the largest and most important megalithic sites in Ireland, boasting over 60 known monuments. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back in time to an era when our ancestors revered the power of the earth and the cosmos. The circle, composed of roughly 49 stones, stands proudly amidst the lush, verdant landscape, its age-worn stones weathered by the elements and etched with the stories of generations long past. The circular arrangement of the stones suggests a connection to the cycles of nature and the changing seasons, while their alignment with the solstices and equinoxes indicates the ancient people's deep understanding of astronomy. This site, like many others, serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that Ireland has to offer. As you explore the Carrowmore Megalithic Site, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the ingenuity and resilience of our ancestors. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a rare glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Ireland's ancient monuments.
