The Ox Mountains less than 10km from Tubbercurry are of particular interest geologically, as they are among the oldest found in Ireland dating from 600 to 1500 million years old and would generally be 350 million years old. This mountain range is one of Ireland’s least explored secrets with undisturbed flora and fauna. Sligo is a Megalithic Tomb hotspot with one of the highest concentrations of Neolithic passage tombs in Ireland, the most spectacular of which are Carrowmore and Carrowkeel.
