What is recorded here

At Carrowmore passage tomb cemetery. This megalithic structure is indicated on the 1837 OS6-inch map as circle of dots, but is not shown on later map editions. It consisted of a boulder circle with a central construction, and all above ground remains were destroyed in the 19th century. In 1837 Petrie recorded ‘Little remains: six large stones of the circle and the cromleac only survive. Rest recently blasted or removed. Human bones found within this tomb.' (Stokes 1868, 247). By 1888 there were no remains visible (Wood-Martin 1888, 60). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 2 November 2020
