Carnfree

Also known as: Carn Fraoich

Carnfree is a site south of the village of Tulsk in Roscommon that also lies close to the more celebrated ancient landscape of Rathcroghan [1]. The chief feature here is the bronze-age mound of Carnfree itself, believed to be the cairn of the Connacht warrior Fráech, that was used as an inauguration place up to late medieval times [1]. Up until the mid-nineteenth century a proclamation stone stood nearby that featured two sunken footprints [1].
