What is recorded here

In recently replanted woodland, in a gap in the Ox Mountains 0.8km NW of Ballygawley Lough. To N and E the ground drops quite sharply to a stream that flows NW-SE. Detailed examination is not possible as the site is much disturbed by tree planting and quite overgrown by briars and bushes that flourish while the trees are still small. A gapped line (L c. 17m) large boulders forms an incomplete ring SE-NW. The nature of the site is somewhat uncertain but it may be a Carrowmore-type passage tomb. Some 100m to the E there is an another possible passage tomb (SL020-274----).
