Thomas Fagan (1845-8) claimed that 'an extensive sepulture' stood 'a few perches' N of the 'Cromlech' (App. 2, No. 11) in this townland but that it had been removed in the course of land reclamation sometime before his visit in 1845. On the basis of local information, he claimed that it had consisted of 'many long graves each enclosed at sides and ends by great slabs and in each of which skulls and other human bones of unusually large size have been found'. The floors of some of the graves were said to have been bedded with sea sand and shells. There is now no trace of any such feature in the vicinity mentioned by Fagan. His second-hand account may well relate to a destroyed megalithic tomb, but more evidence would be required before this could be accepted as one. Fagan 1845-8, book 4, 17. 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).

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
