Stone row in Castletown

Listed in the RMP (1998) as a possible stone row, this record is based on a possible ‘megalith’ marked at roughly this location on a Sligo Field Club map (per. comm. M. A. Timoney, 1989). No trace of an archaeological monument was found when the area was inspected in 2003, and there is no local knowledge of one. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 28 July 2016

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone row in Castletown may have had ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial significance, as was common with such features in prehistoric Ireland. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this site.
