What is recorded here
Giants Grave is a wedge tomb in Kilsellagh, County Sligo, Ireland. It appears as an oval outline on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map near Ballysadare, measuring roughly 27 metres by 15 metres with a north-east to south-west axis. The monument is no longer visible on the ground, most likely levelled during nineteenth-century railway construction, leaving no physical remains for later examination.
