At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This boulder circle with central structure was destroyed in the 19th century. It is indicated on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circle of dots located immediately to the east of a NW−SE field boundary. It is not shown on later map editions, but the OS 25-inch map (surveyed 1910; revised in 1940) shows a kink in the field boundary at the location shown on the OS 1837 map. Petrie inspected it in 1837 and recorded it in his notebook (no. 55, p. 72; Royal Irish Academy Ms. 23, L44) as follows: ‘Cromlech perfect, but covered with stones, circle perfect in parts. Stones removed to make a gardenwall.’ There is now no trace of this monument at ground level.
