At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This megalithic structure was greatly damaged in the 19th century. Petrie inspected it in August 1837 and recorded it as follows: 'About 20 paces south of No. 19, a circle, small diam. Formerly of 12 stones but 5 of them recently removed.' (OS Letters, 177). Wood-Martin (1888, 51) stated: ‘An excavation was made, but without result.’ The OS 25-Inch Name Book (1940) records 'Only the four supporting stones and a hollow in the ground is now left'.
The remains consist of an oval raised area (dims. c. 5m x 3m) with five gneiss boulders.
