This really is a little sweetie! It is one of the only 'dolmen-like' structures to have survived man's attempts to eradicate Carrowmore from the landscape.
The kerb surrounding this little chamber is quite small, especially after visiting Carrowmore Tomb 27 (County Sligo) immediately beforehand. Slightly off centre of the circle is a small chamber with a lovely heart-shaped capstone. This is supported upon four short orthostats. As ever, Knocknarea and the surrounding mountains are ever-present. The tomb sits atop a small rise almost level with Listoghil (County Sligo).
The rest of the ridge upone which this little tomb sits is strewn with boulders. The original 1837 plans and Ordnance Survey maps show that this ridge was covered in tombs and stone circle. Just seeing these boulders cast about is enough to make you sob, but it also gives you some idea of the original extent of the Carrowmore monuments.
