Recorded monuments

• DG096-015 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  The monument lies just N of the road between Teelin and Bunglass in steeply undulating land c. 600m from the coast. It stands on a reasonably level patch of bog-grown ground close to the base of a steep rock face. An outlook southward over Donegal Bay is restricted by two low hills, one to the SE and the other to the SW. This damaged structure consists of what appears to be the remains of a segmented gallery, now 3.5m long and c. 2m wide, aligned ENE-WSW. A large flat-topped stone, 2.15m long (E-W), representing the N side of the gallery, is supported in a leaning position by a low set stone, the northern one of two running to the S from its eastern end. These two stones appear to divide the gallery. The large leaning slab, 0.25-0.35m thick, measures 0.7m high at its outer face and, because of the lowering of ground level in the chamber area, c. 1.30 high at its inner face. It rises 0.5m above the top of the northern of the two segmenting stones, which is 0.6m in exposed height. The southern segmenting stone is of similar height. Just 0.9m SE of this, two stones next to each other seem to represent the S side of the gallery. The western one is 0.35m in exposed height, and the eastern is 0.3m high. The W end of the last stone is damaged, and it appears as if an attempt was made to smash it. According to Fagan (1845-8), there was a further stone on the S side of the gallery. It stood opposite the northern orthostat, was of similar size and also leaned inward. Local information confirms that this stone stood until the 1920s or 1930s. Immediately beside the E end of the leaning slab at the N side of the gallery a stone projects at an angle from the ground. Its W end is jammed between a slight prow of the leaning slab and the northern of the two stones marking the segmentation. It measures 0.4m long (E-W) by at least 0.45m in sloping height and is 0.15m thick. This may be a corbel. Two displaced stones lie partly buried in the gallery area. One, just E of the segmenting stones, measures at least 0.5m in maximum dimension, and the other, at the W end of the structure, at least 0.8m in maximum dimension. There is a considerable number of slabs, some quite sizeable, around the site and especially to the N, toward the nearby rock face from which they may have been quarried. The two stones forming the possible segmentation may be a jamb, to the N, with an adjoining sillstone pointing, perhaps, to the remains being those of a court tomb of at least two chambers. Nevertheless, more compelling evidence would be required to establish that this is the case, and the monument must remain unclassified.

• DG096-016 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  This monument, 250m WSW of and slightly uphill from the last, is partly concealed by a road built over it. It is on a level patch of wet, boggy ground where rock exposures are frequent. Lough Meenaviller, 230m to the NE, is just visible from the tomb. A rocky ridge to the S and rising ground to the N and E restrict the outlook in those directions. Toward the W is an uninterrupted view of the sea. The monument is described as it appeared when surveyed in 1982. The visible remains consist of an upright stone still in its original position and four slabs that appear to be displaced, all close together c. 5m from the W end of a lightly grass-grown cairn. The original extent and outline of the cairn are uncertain owing to concealment by the road. This road has existed in some form since at least 1835, the date of the original OS 6-inch survey of the area. It is claimed locally that the monument was damaged when road improvements were undertaken in 1929. It seems that the long axis of the cairn lay approximately E-W, in which direction it now measures 16m, and it extends 6.3m northward from the road edge. The set stone, aligned NW-SE, projects from the face of the metalled bed of the unfenced road, the surface of which rises 0.4m above it. This stone, at least 0.5m long, is 0.15m thick and is exposed to a depth of 0.8m in gaps among the cairn stones. Three of the four displaced slabs lie one after another to the W of the set stone, and the fourth lies immediately N of the others. The southern end of the one beside the set stone is overlain by the road. It measures 0.75m by at least 0.3m and is 0.2m thick. The southern end of the next is also overlain by the road. This measures 0.7m by at least 0.8m and is 0.2m thick. The next one leans markedly to the NW, its base hidden by cairn stones. Although it is possible that it stood upright here, the likelihood is that it too is displaced. As exposed, it measures 0.85m by 0.8m and is 0.3m thick. The fourth displaced stone, the northernmost at the site, rests in a sloping position on the uneven surface of the cairn, its southern end partly concealed. This measures 1.9m by 0.7m and is 0.15m thick. When Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited here in 1847 he noted that the monument was damaged. Toward the western end of the cairn one 'grave', which he considered to have been part of a larger structure, then survived. This measured 10 feet by 5 feet (c. 3.05m by 1.5m) and was enclosed by flags 1-3 feet (c. 0.3-0.9m) high. It was partly covered by a flag measuring 51/2 feet by 21/2 feet (c. 1.7m by 0.75m) and 1 foot (c. 0.3m) thick. There can be little doubt that the remains are those of a megalithic tomb, but it cannot be classified in its present state. Fagan 1845-8, book 19, 51-2; H. Morris 1947, 41, no.

• DG096-046 Signal tower
  Description

  Situated on a rocky promontory (227m OD) with steeply rising ground to the N and steep cliffs to the S. Located at the rear of a small natural terrace, with a small level area to the S. Site located c. 75m SSE of the coastline at its nearest point, and c. 145m N of the tip of Carrigan Head. The surrounding area is unenclosed rough and rocky pasture. The signal tower has unobstructed views to the E, S and W, but the views to the N and NE are blocked by the rising ground. It was originally built to be intervisible with the signal tower at Malin Beg\ Málainn Beg (DG089-034-----), which is located c. 8.7kms to the NW, and is visible in clear weather; and with the site of the signal tower at St John’s Point Signal Tower (DG097A020----), which was located c. 16.7kms to the SE\ESE, and has been demolished, and is no longer visible from this site. This signal tower at Carrigan Head is located within or adjacent to a promontory fort (DG096-043----). A nineteenth-century two-storey square-plan signal tower built with roughly coursed and squared sandstone rubble (ext. dims. 5.9m NW-SE x 5.9m NE-SW; H 11.66m). The well-preserved signal tower is positioned with its walls facing NE, SE, SW and NW. The signal tower has survived to its full height, apart from the uppermost parts of the W corner, which have collapsed. The signal tower is constructed within a deep but narrow terrace that has been cut into the steeply sloping ground to the NE. The SW elevation features a square-headed doorway at first floor level that would have been originally accessed via a retractable ladder. This doorway retains a cut limestone lintel with central projecting keystone but the surround is gone elsewhere. The doorway is protected by a largely complete machicolation, supported by three cut sandstone corbels. The NW and SE elevations feature pairs of square-headed window openings on the ground floor and the first floor levels. The ground floor windows are noticeably smaller than the ground floor windows recorded at most other signal towers. The windows at first floor level to the SE elevation retain cut stone surrounds and lintels with projecting keystones. The NW wall features a slight outwards bulge, which houses the chimney flues, and a well-preserved chimneystack extends over the centre of the wall. The chimneystack consisted of two ‘tall’ courses of stonework at the bottom, a projecting stringcourse, and then two shorter courses of stonework above the stringcourse. A series of small ‘jagged’ triangular stones have been set point upwards into a mortar cap to the chimneystack. The N and E corners of the signal tower are protected by mostly intact bartizans, each supported by three cut stone corbels. Coping stones are present around the top of the parapet wall, the bartizans and the machicolation, except at the W corner where the upper part of the tower has begun to collapse. The interior of the tower is not accessible from ground level, but looking through the windows into the interior reveals that the NW wall features fireplaces flanked by alcoves on the ground floor and first floor levels, and that the signal tower had a low attic level between the first floor and the roof. Traces of a rectangular enclosure are located immediately NE of the signal tower. The enclosure is defined by low, grassed-over, collapsed stone walls (int. dims. 26m NW-SE x 10.7m NE-SW). Within the enclosure are various sections of low, grassed-over stone walls which do not resolve into obvious patterns. These fragments of walls may have belonged to small buildings that were used during or before the occupation of the signal tower. The location of the rectangular enclosure adjacent to the signal tower, rather than enclosing the signal tower is unusual, although the same arrangement may have been used at St John’s Point Signal Tower to the SE. To the SW of the signal tower there is a World War 2-era Look Out Post (L.O.P. 71) that is in a ruinous state. It consists of collapsed low concrete walls and a concrete slab foundation that is surrounded and overlain by a spread of concrete wall fragments. The signal tower was part of a system of over 80 signal stations constructed by the British Board of Ordnance in the first decade of the 19th century to warn of the approach of a French invasion fleet. Signalling between sites was accomplished using a naval signal post. The system formed a continuous chain from Dublin Bay running clockwise all the way around the coast to Malin Head in County Donegal. It was abandoned by the mid-1810s when the threat of a French invasion diminished (Kerrigan 1995, 157-66). Compiled by: Stuart Rathbone and T.J.
