Several of the monuments to the north of carrowmore are stone circles rather than kerbed rings. This illustration by Wakeman may show Site 10. Note Knocknarea and the highly visible Queen Maeve's cairn top left.

Site 10 - Carrowmore

XIV. No. 10. Situated N.E. of XII (dolmen-circle). "This circle is in part destroyed, but from the portion which remains it appears to have been one of the grandest of the whole series. As in the case of XII, it seems to have consisted of only twelve stones, of which eight remain, and are of unusually great size. The diameter of the circle was 75 feet. The cromleac, now quite ruined, was of corresponding magnitude, and an interment was found beneath it." - Petrie. and Wood-Martin.

Col. Wood-Martin's plan shows only seven stones of the ring remaining, and one small one lying S.E. of the centre.
