What is recorded here

Stone row in Barnacoghil is a stone row in Barnacoghil, County Sligo, Ireland. An intermittent row of low stones extends on a northeast-southwest axis between the southeast side of an enclosure and the southwest side of a possible stone circle, spanning about 35 metres. The stones are set on edge but remain so low that bog vegetation conceals or barely covers them. Spacing widens from 1 to 2 metres near the enclosure to about 10 metres near the stone circle, then tightens again where the line continues 5 metres northeast of that feature.

Situated in rough, boggy terrain. Not marked on the 1837 or the 1913 OS 6-inch maps. An intermittent row of low stones extends, on a NE–SW axis, between the SE side of an enclosure (SL018-058002-) and the SW side of a possible stone circle (SL018-059001-), a distance of c. 35m. The line of stones appears to continue for c. 5m to NE of the stone circle. The stones appear to be set on edge but are very low, and are concealed by, or barely protruding above, the bog vegetation. At the SW end of their extent, close to the enclosure (SL018-058002-), the stones are 1-2m apart but the spacing increases to c. 10m as they approach the stone circle (SL018-059001-). To the NE of the stone circle the stones are again more closely spaced. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
