Ballygroll Prehistoric Complex

A remarkable concentration of prehistoric monuments, ranging in date from 4000 to 1000BC, survives here on Slievegore Hill. They include a court tomb, two wedge tombs, a round cairn, a barrow and two stone circles set within the remains of the pre-bog field system. The earliest monument is the court tomb dating to the Neolithic period (4000-2500BC). The wedge tombs bridge the transition from Neolithic to the Bronze Age while the stone circles, barrow and round cairn date to the early Bronze Age (2500-1500). This site is in the care of Environment and Heritage Service.
