- DG080-021001: Promontory fort - coastal, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG080-021001-. A modern stone wall built to the E and below traces of an older fortification cuts off a promontory formed by two small inlets, to the SW and NE of the neck of land. Discontinuous stretches of stone show the original wall, the external facing of which can be traced in places, to the height of .7m. The original width of this wall was probably c. 2.8m. The interior is undulating with rock outcrop, erratics and vegetation. The NE slopes gradually to the sea but the SW is steeper. There are excellent views up Glencolumbkille valley. A cashel (DG080-021002-) is built inside this promontory fort. 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).

Internal diam. c. 18m NNW-SSW, c. 17m WNW--ESE. A subcircular area enclosed now by a collapsed stone wall. The outer facing of this is visible in patches all the way round but the inner facing survives only on the W side. The thickness of the wall here is c. 1.45m. The SW section of the collapse is noticeably larger than elsewhere and it has been suggested (Herity 1971) that his may reflect some kind of intra-mural structure. Modern walls have been constructed on and across the enclosure. It is built on a knoll of bedrock on Doon Point a short distance WNW of and inside a promontory fort wall (DG080-021001-). The land is rocky with rough pasture and gives a good view of Glencolumbkille valley. 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.'

A subcircular cairn (DG080-022001-) c. 4.6m in diameter and 1.1m in height. Located on top of this is an undressed slab (DG080-022002-) 1.14m × 0.22m to .34m × 0.11m to .18m. There are crosses inscribed on three faces of the slab. The W face has a simple, bar cross with a pear-shaped terminal at the bottom and a rectangular terminal with internal markings at the top. The cross on the N side is a simple Latin cross with a bar terminal on top and on its Warm. On the E face of the slab is a simple Latin cross with bar terminals on each arm. All the lines on the slab are thinly incised and some features may have disappeared through weathering. The site is located in a garden overlooking the Glen Bay inlet in rough, rocky pasture.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
