• DG016-003 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  The 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps indicate a 'Fort' here. It is now not visible. It stood on the E-facing slope overlooking Mulroy Bay in poor ground marked by much rock outcrop. Local geology suggests it was a stone enclosure. 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).

• DG016-004001 Church
  Description

  Mevagh Church: It was described in 1622 as 'the ancient parish church now ruinated' (Royal Commission, 216). Built of rubble with pinnings, the surviving church remains, 13.15m by 5.5m internally, consist of the E gable with attached N return, the S wall and a small section of the W gable. The NE quoin is of rough ashlar construction with small pinnings; the SE corner has fallen away. The interior is littered with collapse and graveyard debris. The E gable, c. 5m at the highest N section is lit by a central deeply splayed window built of small horizontally laid stones; the head and most of the rear-arch are missing. The ope, .21m wide, has an estimated height of 1.88m. Immediately S of this window is the splayed ingoing of a smaller window. Part of its head survives giving an ope height of .87m and, though its exact width cannot be determined, it was probably similar to that of the present E window. The position of this window in the E gable supports the suggestion that it was one of a pair. Although no evidence for a corresponding N window survives, it may have been completely removed when the larger E window was built. The S wall, 3.6m high, preserves the ingoing of a deeply splayed window at its E end; it is of similar construction to the central E window. A relieving arch survives above the bond holes of a wooden lintelled doorway in this wall; the splayed ingoings remain but the jambs have fallen away. A small section of the W gable survives to an interior height of 1.5m. Spalled masonry, particularly on the inner face of the S wall, was caused by fire in this area. The details of door and window construction are suggestive of a medieval date for this church. The church stands inside a modern graveyard (DG016-004007-) which contains a number of other early features: (1) A cross (DG016-004002-) carved from a single slab 2.5m in height and c. 15cms thick. The angles where shaft and arms meet have been hollowed and empha-sised by a small knob-like projection. It stands to the S of the church. (2) A standing stone (DG016-004003-) .75m in height, .4m wide and 12 cms thick also stands to the S of the church. The small 'wishing stone of Mevagh' (DG016-004004-) (now missing) is said to have rested on top of the standing stone (JRSAI 1902, 231). (3) Lying on the ground near the SW corner of the church is an irregularly-shaped stone (DG016-004005-), overall 1.55m × 0.57m. Twenty three clear cup-marks are visible on the upper surface c. 6cms in diameter and 1.5cms deep. The site is located on the E limit of a stretch of high ground marked by ridges of rock outcrop, To the E, cultivated land slopes steeply to Mulroy Bay.
