Drumdutton Church: Capt. Thomas Dutton, who erected a house and village here in the first quarter of the 17th century was probably also responsible for the building of this church. The walls of the church c. 15.8m by 3.9m internally are represented, for the most part, by grass-covered lower courses; the SE corner survives to a height of c. 1m and the lower section of the W gable has been incorporated in a field wall. The W 3.5m of the church had been closed off by a cross-wall; only the lower courses remain. Some moulded window and chamfered wall-press fragments lie among the fallen rubble masonry at the E end of the church; the former indicate a window of 17th century form and character. Other moulded fragments have been incorporated in the fabric of nearby farm outbuildings. Earlier accounts (Fagan Bk. 2, 7-8; Davies, Notes, 1940; Colhoun, Notes, 1944) describe the church as being of rubble construction with small ashlar quoins, having a blocked-up rectangular E window of three lights, a wall-press with chamfered surround at the E end of the S wall and the E ingoing of a doorway beside it on the W. 13.45m N of the NE corner of the church is an almost square block of granite (DG026-019004-) c. 0.45m x .5m. A depression .32m in diameter and 0.2m deep is carved on the top of the block. The burial ground (DG026-019002-) shown on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps is not now visible.

Drumdutton Castle (site of): In 1622, Capt Thomas Dutton who had purchased 500 acres from Sir Ralph Bingley had built a house and established a village here (Treadwell 1953-5, 43). The Civil Survey 1654-6 records that it was a 'large dwelling house of stone called Drim, built in a manner of strength, which was burnt in the late war' which followed on the 1641 rebellion (Simmington 1937, 107). It is marked as 'Old Castle' on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map to the N of the church (1879). In 1845, Fagan noted that a small section was then incorporated in a flax kiln 'a few yards south (recte N?) of the old church' (Bk. 2, 9-10). No visible trace of this survives. There is a small shed to the E of the church built against a stretch of wall, c. 4m long by 1.9m high, built of large irregular blocks. This wall may have formed part of the house or its associate out-buildings. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
