The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the RMP (1998) as a possible stone row, this record is based on a possible ‘megalith’ marked at roughly this location on a Sligo Field Club map (per. comm. M. A. Timoney, 1989). No trace of an archaeological monument was found when the area was inspected in 2003, and there is no local knowledge of one.
