What is recorded here

Megalithic tomb in Fortland is a megalithic tomb in Fortland, County Sligo, Ireland. The 1837 map recorded the site as a cromlech, although later maps stopped showing it. Nothing survives at the marked position except a few stones in a nearby fence to the south, which may be the last remains of the monument.
