What is recorded here

Petrie (Stokes 1868, 244) noted that this circle and megalithic structure were destroyed about 1815 by quarrying (Herity 1974, 266, SL 15; Kitchin 1983, 169; Bergh 1995, 183, Carrowmore 6). Petrie (1837, 175, No. 6) records as follows: 'Its situation is marked by the gravel pit to the north-east of No. 5. The circle and cromleac, destroyed about 1815, in raising gravel.' Wood-Martin (1888,34) quotes Petrie. There is no additional information available on this monument. A gravel pit is shown on the 1st OS 6-inch map (surveyed 1837) and represented the OS Fair Plan. The location of this monument has been plotted as the gravel pit. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 22 January 2014
