• DG012-023 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  According to Colhoun (1949), there is a chambered cairn, known as the 'Queen's Grave', in this townland. There is a low mound here that is almost totally ploughed out, but the original nature of the feature is not apparent (Lacy 1983). The basis of Colhoun's claim is uncertain. It may be that she had in mind references to a structure said to consist of two upright stones with a third laid horizontally on top of them (W.S. Mason 1814-19), which has been positioned in this townland by Lewis (1837) and 'Maghtochair' (1867). W.S.Mason 1814-19, vol. 2, 155 ('near to Kindrahad' recte Kindroghed); Beaufort 1828, 119 ('at Kindrahad'); Lewis 1837, vol. 1,441; 'Maghtochair' 1867, 24; Colhoun 1949, 116; Bonner 1972, 16; Lacy 1983, 560, no. 242; SMR 1987, 12:23; Colhoun 1995, 52; RMP 1995, 12:23. Known locally as 'Queen's Grave', the only visible remains is a low mound almost totally ploughed out with nothing to suggest the original nature of the monument. It is situated in a cultivated, northward sloping field, overlooking the plain and Culdaff River to the N. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). Date of upload: 22 September 2008

• DG012-024 Souterrain
  Description

  No trace is visible of this souterrain. Maghtochair (1935, 24) recorded that in 1867 it consisted of four chambers or sections separated by narrow creeps. Section 1 was entered by a circular aperture 3ft in diameter and closed by a flag. The 'Cavern' was 10ft long, 7ft broad and 5ft high. A creep 2ft high and 2ft wide cut through solid rock led to the second section. This was 30ft by 10 ft. by 6 ft. A second creep like the first leads to a third cave and so on to a fourth. Situated on the N side of the hill to the W of a small stream. 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).
