What is recorded here
Megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.) is a megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It is one of three possible circles that Petrie believed were destroyed between C18 and C19, based on peasant allegations recorded in 1837.
This is recorded by Bergh (1995, 188) as follows: ‘In the O.S.L. Petrie notes that “Between this circle [C18; SL014-209031-] and the next to be noticed [C19; SL014-209032-], there is every reason to believe that three or more circles have been destroyed, as the peasantry allege.” (Petrie 1837, p. 246)’ This record relates to one of the three possible circles. (Bergh 1995, 249, C18:2)
