• DG036-001 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  This feature is named 'Grania's Bed' on the original OS 6-inch map (1834) and 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' on the 1848 edition. There is outcropping rock at the point indicated on the OS 6-inch maps but no trace of an artificial feature. An OS Name Book (1834) records that there was an 'ancient grave' here, but no details are provided. According to an entry in a later, 1:2,500 Name Book (1903), the feature was a rock 'used by the ancient Irish for devotional purposes'. There is no reliable evidence that a megalithic tomb ever stood here. OS Name Book, Kilmacrenan parish (1834-5), book 1, 3 (under Cool Upper); Borlase 1897, 232, Kilmacrenan no. 15; OS 1:2, 500 Name Book, sheet 36 (1903), 3; Killanin and Duignan 1962, 373; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 374; Ó Nualláin 1983a, 47, no. 153; SMR 1987, 36:1; RMP 1995, 36:1.

• DG036-003 Souterrain
  Description

  A 4m N-S stretch of souterrain is visible here. The walls are of drystone construction c. 1m high and 1.2m wide. The N end narrows to about .5m wide and a slab spans the width at mid-height. N of this the stretch terminates in collapsed earth. At the S end the walls are squared-off and meet suggesting that this was one of the original terminals of the souterrain. Four slabs survive as roof lintels. 3m E of the N end, a slab is visible in the ground, possibly indicating another section of the souterrain. The site is located in rough ground with good pasture nearby. 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).

• DG036-004 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 13m N-S, 15m E-W. A subcircular area bounded by an earthen bank, .5m in height, and a fosse c. 1.5m wide and 0.5m deep. There is a slight suggestion of an outer bank in the NW quadrant. There are several gaps in the inner bank but one, 2.5m wide, to the E appears to have been the original entrance. A small oval feature 2m × 4m adjoining the inner side of the bank on W side is probably modern. The site is located on a level terrace in marshy land but good grazing is available nearby. 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).
