What is recorded here

Wood-Martin (1888, 63-4) assigned it the number 36A. Wood-Martin states: 'A few paces to the north-east of No. 36 [SL014-209068-] are traces of a large cairn not noted by Petrie. The tenant stated that when quarrying in it for stones he turned up a quantity of bones and charcoal . . . traces of a surrounding circle of stones can still be observed.' There are no visible remains of this monument. (Bergh 1995, 195, Carrowmore 36A) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 28 January 2014

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.
