. I thought that one at the Carrowmore tomb complex, or near Carrowmore, in
Sligo, Ireland, had been carbon-dated to 5500-6000 BC?
Site 27 is a very early version of the passage-tomb, in a cruciform
shape....probable construction date (3825 BC) controversially proposes that these
tombs in W and E Ireland were not initiated by Brittany's megalith builders at
all, but instead were developed independently by an already existing
indigenous Neolithic population...
Site 4 dated about 4600 BC contains the remains of a passage-tomb which may
be the earliest in the country. such an early date, however, is
controversial...

Built around 4600-4200 BC...Tomb 4 has a radiocarbon date of 4600 BC making
it the oldest on the site. _Carrowmore Page 1_
