What is recorded here

Megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.) is a megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It stood at the Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery before destruction in the 19th century. Petrie inspected it in 1837 and found a large stone, possibly a cromlech table stone, with a few stones from an enclosing boulder circle. A single large gneiss boulder remains visible, but it is uncertain whether it belonged to the original structure.

At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This megalithic structure was destroyed in the 19th century. When inspected by Petrie in 1837 it consisted only of a large stone, possibly 'the table stone of a cromleac’, and a few stones of an enclosing boulder circle (Stokes 1868, 246; No. 21). A single large gneiss boulder is now visible at the location, but it is uncertain if this formed part of the megalithic structure (Bergh 1995, 189, Carrowmore 21).
