Recorded monuments

• DG036-033 Megalithic structure
  Description

  Kinahan (1889) noted 'two rude ancient structures of squarish slabs of stone set on edge' on the SE slope of Crockmore in the above townland. Then known to locals as 'Dane's houses...they are so very rude that one would easily pass them by as dilapidated shelters for lambs or calves'. Kinahan saw weathered traces of 'sculpturing' on a stone of one of the structures. These sites were subsequently listed as 'dolmens' (Borlase 1897) and as 'chamber tombs' (Killanin and Duignan 1962; 1967). They are not shown on OS 6-inch maps, but Kinahan marked their location on his field maps, now in the Geological Survey Office, Dublin. A search at the location indicated by Kinahan and in the vicinity failed to reveal any identifiable trace of the structures referred to. There is no convincing evidence that these features were megalithic tombs. Kinahan 1889, 281; Borlase 1897, 232-3, Kilmacrenan nos. 18 and 19; Killanin and Duignan 1962, 336; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 337.
