What is recorded here

Megalithic Structure is a passage tomb in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It is a low, roughly oblong mound about 12 metres by 9 metres at the southern edge of a gentle rise in Ballygreighan, with a faint circular feature on top and a kerb of stones holding its sides in place. The 1837 map shows it as an oval area, while the 1913 map shows a smaller rectangular structure, suggesting its form was already becoming less distinct by the early twentieth century. Without excavation, its exact purpose and age remain unclear.
