What is recorded here

Megalithic structure in Lissard More, County Mayo, Ireland. A square chamber, a holed stone to the north and a standing stone to the south occupied a low mound before reclamation work buried them. The chamber measured 1.8m across and rose 0.45m above the ground, large enough for several people to gather beneath a flat stone roof. The mound stretched 9m across, giving the chamber and its two neighbour stones a complete setting rather than a scattered heap. Forgetting that setting is easier than remembering it, which is why the stones disappeared instead of being studied.

OPW topographical files (1947) record a capstone (1.8m by 1.8m) at a height of c. 0.45m above the ground, resting on five or six smaller stones, and set in the centre of a low mound (diam. 9m). There was a holed stone (MA040-063001-) located 6.7m to N and a standing stone (MA040-063003-) 2.4m to S. All three features removed from their original locations and buried during land reclamation work. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 June 2020
