Giants Grave

Passage tomb

What is recorded here

Giants Grave is a passage tomb in Ardnaglass Upper, County Sligo, Ireland. The monument appears as an oval outline measuring roughly twenty-seven by fifteen metres on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map, with its long axis running north-east to south-west. Railway construction in the nineteenth century likely levelled the feature, and the antiquarian W. G. Wood-Martin later noted its destruction but had no information about its nature.
