What is recorded here

Megalithic Structure is a megalithic tomb in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. The oblong mound measures about 12 metres by 9 metres and keeps a faint circular feature on top. Ordnance Survey maps from 1837 and 1913 show different shapes for the same place, suggesting its outline was already fading by the early twentieth century.
