## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Glackadrumman.

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

- DG005-020: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG005-020----. Internal diam. 38.5m. Previously unmarked on the OS 6-inch maps the site consists of a flat, circular area enclosed by the remains of a fosse c. 2m wide and 0.3m deep which survives only on the NW, N and E sectors. It is situated W of the flat-topped summit of Bishop's Hill with wide views in all directions. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- DG012-004: Stone circle, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG012-004----. Known as the Bocan stone circle the site now consists of seven standing stones, 1m-2m high, and a few fallen and broken stones partially enclosing a subcircular area c. 20m in diameter. The stones are all concentrated in the NW and SE quadrants. Shaw Mason (1816, 180) described twelve upright stones which formed part of a circle of sixty feet diameter and went on to say that 'graves' containing 'earthen urns' have frequently been discovered at Bocan. In the SW quadrant there is a track, possibly the result of livestock using stones (now removed?) as scratching posts. The interior of the circle as well as sections of the perimeter are confused by field clearance stones. No trace exists of the two possible outliers noted as being to the E of the circle (Swan 1949, 113). The site is situated on the W slopes of a low hill, in a large recently reclaimed grazing field, with extensive views on all but the E side. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- DG012-005: Ringfort - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG012-005----. A flat hillock known as Ard an Dun (Height of the Fort) may indicate the location of the oval 'Fort' represented on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Unlike the 1st edition which shows one bank, the 2nd and 3rd editions of the maps show two banks. Situated in fairly good grazing land. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

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.
