Recorded monuments

• DG017-022001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 20m. A circular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall, up to .5m in height on the W side. The E side has been partially quarried away and in places survives only as a line of stones. On the W side adjoining, the cashel wall is a circular collapsed stone foundation (DG017-022002-) c. 5m in diameter but it is not certain that this is an original feature of the site. The rest of the interior is level but is over-grown. The site is located on a prominent rise with agricultural land around its base. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).

• DG017-030 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Excavation licence number 04E0938. The site of the proposed development, a bridge across the bay and a link road connecting to the Milford-Carrickart road, is located on a peninsula jutting into Mulroy Bay, close to Carrickart just off the Milford road. The closest known monument, a cashel (DG017-022----), is over 400m east of the proposed development. However, field-walking undertaken by Christopher Read of North West Archaeological Services identified a possible unrecorded 'fort' close to the proposed road-take. Probably consisting of modified natural features, the 'fort' is located just outside the road-take, 30m to the west. Due to the presence of the 'fort' and potentially associated low earthen banks to the south-east, it was recommended that the portion of the link road extending across the peninsula to the bridge should be investigated both geophysically and by test-trenches. A centre-line trench, 430m long, was excavated along the length of the road. Numerous spur trenches, 10-20m long, were also excavated to investigate particular anomalies identified through the geophysics. No evidence of archaeological activity was identified in any of the trenches (Bennett 2007, 85). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 17 November 2011
