- DG053-054 Burnt mound
Description
Located on an east-facing slope of a field to the north of a tributary of the River Swilly. In 2004 a burnt mound was discovered at this location during monitoring of works associated with the Letterkenny sewerage improvement scheme. The burnt mound was subsequently fully excavated (04E1473). The site presented as a deposit of charcoal-stained clay with much burnt stone. The main concentration of burnt material was a maximum of 5m long and 3m wide. The original mound had been disturbed as a result of agricultural activity and only the lower part survived, to a depth of 0.05-0.18m. This overlay fine grey sand with some charcoal. Agricultural activity had resulted in the deposition of burnt material to the east of the main mound. There was no evidence for a hearth associated with the burnt mound and no finds were recovered. Samples of charcoal indicated that wood four tree species was used: hazel, alder, holly and willow. A post medieval field drain was uncovered 8m to the east of the burnt mound. (McQuade 2007, 81).

- DG053-057 Souterrain
Description
In Letterkenny, located within a town park bordered on the N side by St. Conall’s Hospital. This souterrain was uncovered in 1997 during the construction of the park. The accidental removal of a roof slab by a mechanical digger created a hole (0.8m by 0.77m) in the roof of an E–W chamber (max. Wth 1.38m; L c. 3.6m E-W; H 1.53m). The drystone walls, constructed of rough-cut stones, are vertical for about half their height, and above this, are gradually corbelled to support a roof of five stone lintels, one of which was removed by the digger. At its W end, the chamber narrows (Wth 0.64m) to a possible passageway but this was blocked with a fall of earth and stones and could not be examined. There is a recess (H 0.31m; Wth 0.42m; D 0.52m) in the E wall, and another (H 0.33m; Wth 0.45m; D 0.72m) in the S wall, close to the point where the chamber begins to narrow. (pers. comm. Judith McCarthy, Donegal County Museum). The souterrain was covered with soil, and there is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 September 2015
