What is recorded here

Giants Grave is a wedge tomb in Dunowla, County Sligo, Ireland. The monument vanished when railway construction levelled the ground, leaving only an oval outline on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map. That line records a lost Neolithic burial place where human hands shaped the land before memory faded.

Portal dolmen; dates to the Neolithic period. It is one of several megalithic tombs in the Dunowla area, reflecting early communal burial practices in west Ireland.
