Borlase's Introduction

This group of circles to the south of Carrowmore were all destroyed around 1820, and the only records we have of them are Petrie's notes. He made his records in 1837, about 15 years after these circles were demolished.

Site 42

No. 42. Situated in the same field with Nos. 39 and 40 (dolmen-circle). "The remains of this circle consist of seven or eight stones. It was destroyed by Mr. Walshe." - Petrie.

Site 43

No. 43 (1). Situated in the field to the S. of that in which 42 lies, and immediately adjacent (dolmen-circle). "The diameter of this circle is 45 feet, but the number of the stones cannot be ascertained, as many of them are covered over by the soil. There are no remains of the cromleac." - Petrie.

No. 43 (2). Immediately adjacent to 43 towards the N. (dolmen-circle). "There are seven or eight large stones which appear to be the remains of another circle." - Petrie.

Site 44

No. 44. Situated in the same field as 43 to the W. of it (dolmen-circle). "Of this circle only eleven stones remain, the others have been removed to form a wall adjacent. The diameter is 72 feet." - Petrie.

Site 45

No. 45. Situated in the same field with 42, 43 and 44 (dolmen-circle). "The remains of this circle consist of only a few stones. It was destroyed by Mr. Walshe." - Petrie.
