The building of the Tomb dates back to the Neolithic period, 4000-2500 BC.

The Creevykeel Court Tomb is made up of a long Trapezoid shaped Cairn. Which encloses    an oval court, and a burial chamber that is made up of 2 compartments at the north west of the court.

 In the back of cairn there are 3 subsidiary chambers which are built in the cairn.

The entrance into the court is at the east and consists of a narrow passage-way lined with upright stones.

This monument is situated at the foothills of Tievebaun mountain, near the sea at Mullaghmore, and is one of the finest examples in Ireland of what is known as a full-court Tomb.
