Chambered Tomb in Co. Sligo
A most bizarre site - in the middle of a housing estate, on a roundabout, with Roman Catholic ritual monuments placed among the remains of the tomb, which is similar to those at Carrowmore on the other side of Sligo town. Credit to the excellent Megalithic Ireland website for helping me know and find this unusually presented monument.
