Listoghil (or Carrowmore 51) is the large central monument that is a part of the Carrowmore group of prehistoric tombs found in County Sligo, Ireland. Sometime during the 1800s, the site was damaged by workmen removing rocks for “road metal”, but once the workers uncovered the central tomb chamber, the site’s destruction stopped. Listoghil is the only part of the Carrowmore passage tombs believed to have had a cairn or covering mound of stones.
In the late 1990s, the site was partly excavated by Swedish archaeologist, Goran Burenhult, who dated bones and carbon material and also uncovered the still intact kerb, or stone ring built to enclose barrow over a chamber tomb. The site was restored by the Office of Public Works and a new cairn was placed over the tomb.
