Cist in Carrowmore (carbury By.) is a cist in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. Wood-Martin recorded an appearance of a ruined cist near destroyed circles. Bergh later confirmed the site is not visible at ground level.
Wood-Martin (1888, 49) recorded that 'In close proximity [to the circles recorded by Petrie as destroyed (SL014-209084-, SL014-209085-, SL014-209086-)] there is an appearance of a ruined cist.’ Not visible at ground level. (Bergh 1995, 188 under 'Destroyed sites between Carrowmore 18 and Carrowmore 19’) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 10 February 2014
Neolithic cist, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its proximity to the Carrowmore megalithic complex suggests it is part of a wider funerary and ritual landscape of significant regional importance.
