Recorded monuments
- DG026-017 Burial ground
Description
A D-shaped area, 24.3m E-W and 16m N-S, is pointed out as a burial ground. The site is a low, level platform up to .6m above the surrounding ground. There is evidence to suggest that it was originally enclosed by a stone wall c. 1.5m wide. 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
- DG026-020 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Diam. c. 25m. The circular enclosure shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map, no longer survives. Now only an uneven mound c. 1.5m high indicates the site. It is probable that this was the location of a cashel. A large slab occurs near the NE perimeter. Situated in rocky land with good views. 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.'
