What is recorded here

Megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.) is a megalithic structure in Carrowmore (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. Peasant tradition recorded by Petrie in 1837 claims three or more circles were destroyed between C18 and C19. This site is one of those possible lost circles.

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.
