Site 6 - Carrowmore There is some confusion about Sites 3A, 5 and 6. These sites, as mentioned below, were removed during land clearance around 1815, so the only records we have of them are Petrie's notes from 1837, when he went around and interviewed some of the tenants on the land. The same is true for many of the destroyed circles on the south side of Carrowmore. No. 6 (1) (dolmen-circle). The situation of this is marked by a gravel-pit N.E. of VII. "This circle and cromleac were destroyed about the year 1815 in raising gravel." - Petrie. IX. No. 6 (2) (dolmen-circle, between the gravel-pit and X). "Several very large stones, which there can be but little doubt belonged to another circle." - Petrie. |
