Site 54 - Carrowmore Situated at the angle of the field, N.E. of the cairn called Listoghil, and to the E. of LXV (dolmen-circle). "Of this circle, also, only a few stones are left, the rest having been carried away to clear the ground; but the cromleac is untouched, though covered with stones collected off the land." - Petrie. ''The few stones yet remaining of those which formed this monument may now be seen in the fences around a neighbouring cottage." - Wood Martin. Site 55 - Carrowmore Situated to the N. of the preceding (No. 54) and close to the road. "It is the external chain of circles which commenced with No. 1. From Col. Wood-Martin's plan it would appear that this circle is S.W. of LXVI (dolmen-circle). "This circle is more perfect, but of the stones have been removed to form a garden wall. The cromleac is perect, but covered with stones. The place of any intermediate circles which may have existed (between this and No. 1, so as to make the chain perfect) have been occupied by the road and houses on either side." - Petrie.
