Description
There is no sign of the single-ringed 'Fort' shown on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was situated in fairly level good 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- DG038-038 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
Marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map as a single-ringed, circular 'Fort'. There is now no trace of this monument. The surrounding terrain is flat and cultivated. 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).

- DG038-054 Midden
Description
Described in 2001 as 'Harte referred to a shell midden which he discovered on the Inch Island end of the Inch Road embankment. With reference to the embankment he noted 'No 2 is at te opposite end on Inch Island'. While he referred also to a good section being evident he noted 'No 2 is nearly all removed for filling or manure'. Harte's observations that the sites 1, 2 and 3 were 12-14 feet from high water suggests that the three cottages built at the immediate end of the embankment may have removed any final remnant of the midden. The corner of the field immediately behind these cottages was examined and only occasional fragments of shell were noted in the topsoil. A small selection of flint artefacts had been recovered from the corner of this field' (Woodman & Milner 2001, 7-8; Milner & Woodman 2007, 104-5, No. 2).
