- DG097-024 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Internal diam. 19.6m E-W, 23m NNW-SSE. A subcircular area enclosed by a ring of small stones, the remains of a collapsed and robbed stone wall. The site exploits a small rock cliff on the N side. A modern wall is built on the cashel collapse on the NW side. The original width of the wall was c. 3.25m. A low subcircular rise of stone c. 5.6m in diameter and 0.5m in height abuts the inner edge of the wall collapse on SSW side. Just beside and also abutting the wall is a second subcircular rise of stones, 3.7m × 3.2m and 0.4m in height. These may possibly indicate structures. The site is situated on a slight prominence in undulating pasture sloping NW to the sea. 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.'

- DG097-031 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal dimension 19m. 'Cashelbane' consists of a roughly square area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall. The corners of the enclosure are rounded and there is a slight exter-nal convexity to the sides. Wall facing on the ENE shows the original wall width to have been 2.35m. It now survives up to .5m in height. From the corner of the NNW and ENE walls an associated wall runs to the E for 18m then turns SSE for a distance of 21.5m towards the sea. The site is located in an area of rough grazing and rock outcrop on a ridge of Ros-scorcan Head. There is a sharp drop to the sea to S and SE.

- DG097-032001 Ringfort - cashel
Description
Internal diam. 15.2m N-S, 16.9m E-W. A subcircular area enclosed by a collapsed stone wall originally c. 2.2m in width and up to .56m in height. In some places inner and outer wall facing up to three courses in height is preserved. A largely filled-in souterrain (DG097-032002-) occurs in the SE sector of the interior. It is orientated ENE-WSW. It is evident as a depression on the surface 5.1m in length widening from .85m to 2m in width at its WSW end. One roof slab is visible in this depression. The width of the top of the sou-terrain beneath is 1.1m. The ENE end of the souter-rain may have run under the cashel wall. Encircling the cashel wall at a distance of 21m on the N side is a discontinuous wall or setting of stones. This is 6m to 7m below the level of the cashel wall. The site is located on a height with commanding views and rock outcrop. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.

- DG097-033 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
Description
This monument, 450m from the western shore of the outer end of Killybegs Harbour, stands on a knoll in rough hilly country and commands an extensive outlook across Donegal Bay. There are frequent occurrences of outcropping rock in the immediate vicinity. The monument consists of a gallery, 5m in overall length, facing ENE. A low stone, 0.4m in front of the N side of the gallery entrance, seems to be a courtstone. An upright stone, 0.3m beyond the S side of the gallery, does not appear to be in situ, and the status of a set stone 2.6m N of the gallery is unclear, although it may be a kerbstone. A fence has been built close to the S side and front of the gallery. It is possible that some of the large slabs in this fence originally formed part of the monument. There are faint traces of mound to the N and W of the gallery, but these are too indefinite for accurate survey. The single courtstone is 0.2m high. The top of it seems chipped, and it may have been taller. The entrance to the gallery is between two jambs set 0.45m apart. The northern is set longitudinally inside the gallery wall and leans inward. It is 0.8m high and may originally have been taller. The southern one, set transversely, is partly overlapped by the gallery side. This stone is 1.2m high. Two orthostats form each side of the gallery, which reaches a maximum internal width of c. 2.3m at mid-length, from where it narrows to 1.5m at either end. The outer of the two orthostats at the N side is 1.4m in maximum height. The outwardly bevelled top of this stone presents a suitably inclined surface on which to lay corbels. There is a gap of 0.8m between this and the second orthostat here, which is 0.55m high at its outer face. The outer orthostat at the opposite side of the gallery is 0.85m high. Its top is 0.35m lower than that of the adjacent entrance jamb. The second orthostat oh this side leans inward slightly and is 0.8m high at its outer face. The gallery is closed by a tall, inset, gabled backstone, 1.2m high, which leans inward slightly. The slab outside the S side of the gallery is 1.7m long, 0.45m thick and 0.75m high. The stone beyond its N side is 1.4m long, 0.45m thick and 0.35m high. Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited this monument in 1847, and it is clear from his account that it was then much as it is now. However, he did note an additional upright stone. This stood 9 feet (c. 2.75m) from the SE angle of the gallery and was 4 feet (c. 1.2m) broad, 10 inches (c. 0.25m) thick and 5 feet (c. 1.5m) high. This may have been a courtstone. According to Borlase (1897, 250), a stone 7 feet (c. 2.15m) long lay 'a few feet' NW of the monument, and another, 4 feet (c. 1.2m) long, lay to the SE. The employment of two well-matched pairs of opposed orthostats in the construction of this gallery suggests that it may have been divided into two chambers.
