A few scattered boulders around a small mound are all that remains of Site 20; the complete circle of Site 19 is in the background.

Site 20 - Carrowmore

No. 20. Situated about 20 paces S. of 19 (dolmen-circle). This circle was of small diameter, and consisted of twelve stones, five of which had been recently removed." - Petrie.

Site 21 - Carrowmore

No. 21. "Still further S." (dolmen-circle). "A few stones of this circle, with the table-stone of the cromleac, still remain." - Petrie.


The remaining visible stone of Site 21.

Site 22 - Carrowmore

No. 22. Situated S. (or S.E.) of 21; "6 paces from it;" "close to the road" (dolmen-circle). "This is a fine double circle, with a cromleac, partly ruined, in the interior. The diameter of the outer circle is 53 feet, and of the inner one 32 feet. The stones in both are, as is most usual, placed quite close to each other. The number of stones in the outer circle is forty-five, but they appear to have been originally fifty-two (the same number as in 29), as places for seven are empty. Within the cromleac an interment was found by Mr. Walker." - Petrie.

Sites 22 is probably largely intact, but is very disturbed and covered by spoil from the quarry.

Site 23 - Carrowmore

No. 23. Situated about fifteen paces to the S. of22 (dolmen-circle). "This circle is considerably injured, seventeen stones only remaining of it, although it originally consisted of thirty or thirty-two. The diameter is 36 feet. The stones of the cromleac remain, but are displaced, and human bones have been found within it." - Petrie.

Site 24 - Carrowmore

No. 24. W. of 23 (dolmen-circle). "There are 23 large stones, which evidently belonged to another circle now destroyed." - Petrie.

"They have been rolled to the bottom of the hill in clearing the land, and placed in a row." - Wood Martin.

Sites 23 -25 were totally destroyed by the lifting of gravel from this large quarry.

Site 25 - Carrowmore

No. 25. Situated 6 paces W. of 23 (dolmen-circle). "Of this circle only 9 stones remain, and no cromleac. The diameter was 45 feet." - Petrie.

"The site is now entirely cleared." - Wood Martin.

Wakeman's painting of Site 22 shows how the circles in this area were destroyed by quarries.
