What is recorded here

At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This monument was destroyed in the 19th century. When seen by Petrie in 1837 it consisted of a boulder circle (int. diam. c. 13.7m) with nine boulders still in situ; there was no trace of a central structure (Stokes 1868, 246; no. 25). By 1888 the remains had been entirely removed (Wood-Martin 1888, 53). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 November 2020

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
