Recorded monuments

• DG093-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 10.2m. A subcircular area enclosed by an earthen bank up to .62m in height and an outer fosse 1.5m in width but much silted-up. There are slight traces of an internal ditch c. 0.75m in width but as the interior is cultivated it is impossible to say if this is an original feature. There are four breaks in the bank but one in the SE, 1.75m wide, most closely resembles an entrance. A field boundary crosses the site NNWSSE. It is situated on the crest of a hill falling steeply on all but the ENE side in cultivated land. 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).

• DG093-008 Stone head
  Description

  Church of Ireland church that was built in 1830. Inside the church there is a carved head which would appear to be of an ecclesiastic, probably a bishop. The face of the head is carved but the rear is unworked, it would appear that the whole was intended to be set in a wall. Beneath the head are the remains of a moulded window, top or could have been top of a tomb or wall niche. The rector of the church told us that the tradition is that the head is that of Captain Mard, the beneficiary of Killynard Church, and perhaps that a second head, depicting his wife also existed at one time, perhaps up to the 1940's. These two heads stood on the gateposts of Killynard old church and graveyard (Donegal Archaeological Survey). Date of revision : 17 May 2009 Caimin O'Brien
