What is recorded here

A skeleton was found beneath the central stone of a stone circle and subsequently two small urns were found at the edge of the circle in 1923 (Armstrong 1923, 4). The location was near Lecarrow village, but is now unknown. However, fragments of human bone and fragments of a Vase Food Vessel in NMI may be from the monument (Ó Ríordáin and Waddell 1993, 129).
