• DG011-007 Children's burial ground
  Description

  Internal diam. 5.5m. A subcircular area enclosed by a single course of large stones. There is some evidence of a possible second wall further down the natural mound on which the site is located. This was marked as a 'Fort' on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a 'Children's Burial Ground' on the other editions. It could be a reused cashel but seems very small.

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).

  Three earth-fast boulders contain various motifs. The largest is at the SE and measures 2.6m NNW – SSE by 1.5m wide. It is carved with four cup-marks and five cup-and-ring motifs. Two of the cup-and-ring motifs have external circles and four of the five are connected. The cup-marks measure 0.05m in diameter and the largest cup-and-ring motif measures 0.25m in diameter. The boulder to the WNW of this measures 1.6m N-S by 1.1m in maximum width. It is carved with three cup-marks and three cup-and-ring motifs, two of which are connected. The cup-marks are between 0.05mm and 0.06m in diameter and the largest cup-and-ring motif is 0.18m in diameter. The third boulder is 18m N of the second and measures 2.4m E-W by 0.9m wide.

• DG011-065001 Rock scribing
  Description

  On poorly drained land with good views of Trawbreaga Bay to N. Earth-fast boulder decorated with prehistoric rock art (DG011-065----) 3m to S. Rock outcrop protruding from N edge of cliff face forming a small cave or rock shelter in the cliff face with views out to Trawbreaga Bay. The surface of the rock outcrop contains two prehistoric cup marks (DG011-065002-) located at the top of the stone. Beneath these cup marks there is the faint outline of an incised figure wearing a conical cap with some letters carved to the left of the head. The naïve figure represents John McColgan (1702-65), R.C. Bishop of Derry (1752) who is holding a crosier standing in a boat with the letters of his name carved above his head on the left hand side. Folklore collected in 1937 from nearby Glasalt [Treanfasy] School records the local story which explains the meaning behind the carving of Bishop John McColgan standing in a boat (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 1116, Pages 90-1; www.duchas.ie). The carving of the face of the Bishop is similar in its naive style to the carved face of the crucified Christ figure on the early Christian slab (MA023-014005-) at Inishkea, Co. Mayo.
