clickable map of Carrowmore

A clickable map of the Carrowmore complex, after Bergh, 1996. The Carrowmore circles are dispersed in an oval shape around the edges of a low plateau, measuring about 750 m x 1 km.

A large number of circles were destroyed before 1837 and their approximate locations were noted by George Petrie in interviews with land owners. It si considered today that there were at most forty monuments at Carrowmore. The circles are loosely clustered around Site 51, the cairn called Listoghil which was excavated and reconstructed in the late 1990's.
