Giants Grave is a megalithic tomb in Barnacoghil, County Sligo, Ireland. It appeared as an oval outline measuring roughly twenty-seven by fifteen metres on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map. The feature aligned north-east to south-west within gently rolling lowland near Ballysadare. Railway construction likely levelled the ground during the nineteenth century.
