Please see the table, which summarises the position at Loughcrew for each of the years requested.

Since 2017, the Office of Public Works has installed a footfall counter which measures the number of visitors at the site in general. Separately, the number of visitors who have specifically requested a key to visit the interior of the Monument itself is also recorded. It can be assumed therefore that visitors to the Monument are included in the overall total.
