What is recorded here

At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This megalithic structure is indicated on the 1837 OS6-inch map as circle of dots, but is not shown on later map editions. It consisted of a boulder circle with a central construction. All above ground remains were destroyed in the early 19th century; Petrie recorded ‘this circle…has been recently destroyed with its fine and perfect cromleac’ (Notebook, p. 68, no. 30. Royal Irish Academy Ms. 23, L44). Wood-Martin (1888, 60-1) noted 'one large stone, standing solitary like a sentinel, marks the site of the monument'. The location is now occupied by a quarry, and there are no visible remains of the monument. (Bergh 1995, 193, Carrowmore 30). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 November 2020

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
