Tomb No. 7 is one of the best examples of a complete burial chamber and stone circle in the Carrowmore cemetery.

The tomb was excavated in 1977-1978 by a Swedish team of archaeologists. The original construction of the tomb has been dated to over 6,000 years ago. The team found cremated human bone inside the burial chamber. They also found fragments of antler pins, a stone ball and a flint arrowhead.

On a clear day there are fantastic views towards Knocknarea in the Western part of the Cúil Irra peninsula from here.
