• DG052-022 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Kinahan (1885-86, 426) recorded a bullaun cut in solid rock. No trace of this was observed on this occasion. It would have been located in an area of rough rocky land. 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).

• DG052-029 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 15.6m. A subcircular area enclosed by a stone wall surviving up to 1.6m in height. The wall although partially collapsed is in a fairly good state and a mural passage from ENE to NE can be traced for c. 6m. The walls of this passage are of drystone construction. It was roofed with flagstones, some of which survive in situ. It is c. 0.8m high in places but contains much collapsed stone. There is an entrance on the SE c. 1.4m wide. It is situated on a shoulder of the SW slope of Glendoon Hill in poor, marshy rocky land, much over-grown with trees and scrub. 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).

• DG052-030 Standing stone
  Description

  A standing stone 0.65m high × 0.77m wide × 0.47m thick orientated E-W. There are 14 shallow cup-marks on the S face, 1 on the W face and 18 on the top surface. Situated at the foot of Glendoon Hill on low-lying marshy ground close to the Swilly river. This standing stone has been reported as missing in June 2013 (SMR file). 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 this instance the record has been revised and updated. The attached image of the stone (DG052-030----_01.jpg) was taken in 1980-81 in the course of the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal (photograph: Paul Walsh). Revised by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 25 September 2013 The standing stone has been removed. At, or in close proximity to the location indicated is a modern-looking subcircular hole (dims. 1.1m ESE-WSW; 0.8m NNE-SSW). It ranges in depth between 0.6m at NNE and 0.1m at SSW. At the base is a large stone and some rope. There are some naturally-occurring stones in the NNE side of the hole. Although there are no archaeological remains visible this may be the location of the original socket for the standing stone. Revised by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 14 January 2015

• DG060-003001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 55m. An almost circular platform enclosed for most of its circumference by a low field bank and entirely surrounded by a wet ditch. A large number of stones can be seen in the ditch and along the edges of the platform. The site would appear to be a destroyed ringfort. There are possible indications of a double or stepped bank inside the ditch on the S side. Just NE of the centre of the platform is a recumbent oval stone (1.8m × 1.15m) rising 10 to 20 cms above the ground in which it is partially buried. Its long axis runs N-S. There is a report (NMI) of a 'bullaun cut in a rounded block of granite' (DG060-003002-) at the SW of this ringfort but this was not observed on this occasion. The site is located on the S side of Glendoon Hill with extensive views. The land is good if a little wet. 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.'
