• DG058-005 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Situated in an area of open moorland with extensive outcropping rock on the southern side of the valley of the Gweebarra River. This feature is located at the north-western end of a low ridge of outcropping rock in an area of cut-away bog and the remains appear to have been largely exposed in the process of peat cutting. The structure consists of a large boulder-type roofstone (3.2m by 3.7m and up to 1m thick), orientated approximately north–south, that slopes downwards from the north where it is supported by two smaller boulders that present a flat portal-like appearance. It rests on a further boulder at the southwest and by what appears be a number of courses of stones at the south which are enveloped in the peat at this end of the structure. The three supporting boulders sit directly on the bedrock which is exposed beneath the cover stone. The north-western edge of the cover stone appears to have been shattered artificially though it is impossible to be certain if this integral to the feature’s original condition. It is possible that this configuration of boulders is the result of natural glacial forces or it may well be a fortuitous arrangement of rocks. Morphologically, it does not conform to any known monument type and the extant remains are hardly sufficient to permit classification as a monument. It may well represent some effort at raising a boulder in the megalithic tradition and while interpretation as a megalithic structure is suggested, this is purely tentative and a proper elucidation of the monument must await further investigation.
