What is recorded here

Anomalous stone group in Carns (duke) is an anomalous stone group in Carns (duke), County Sligo, Ireland. Southwest of the main cairn and five metres from its kerb, two parallel rows hold three gneiss boulders each. The rows run northeast to southwest, sit three metres apart, and place their outer stones into a curving bank that ends west of the arrangement.

The following description of the monument has been published by Bergh (1995, 233): ‘SW of the cairn [SL014-231----], at a distance of c. 5m from the kerb there are two parallel rows of gneiss boulders, three in each row, placed radially to the cairn. The boulders have a size of c. 0.4m and are set at intervals of 1.5m. The rows are at a distance of 3m from each other and are directed in NE/SW. The outermost pair of stones are set into the bank which is connected to the low platform S of the cairn. The bank curves and ends immediately W of the rows.’ (Bergh 1995, 233; Fig. 31, 235).
