Knocknarea| Massive prehistoric cairn perched on the summit of Knocknarea Mountain, County Sligo, Republic of Ireland. Unexcavated, its 40,000 tonnes of stone are believed to cover a passage-grave, reputedly the tomb of Medhba, the legendary queen of Connacht. Other sources place her burial place at Rathcroghan. The cairn, 10 m/33 ft high and 57 m/197 ft wide, is believed to be about 5,000 years old. |
