## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- DG036-033: Megalithic structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG036-033----. 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. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). Date of upload: 22 September 2008

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
