  Description

  Midden material has been recorded here (M.R. Colhoun). In at least one area scraps of iron and bronze including bronze pins were found. Layers of shells have also been observed. There are extensive sand hills here close to Tramore Beach on Sheephaven Bay. 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).

• DG026-010 Enclosure
  Description

  A 'Fort' consisting of an oval mound said to be 100ft N-S and 56ft E-W, was recorded here (M.R. Calhoun). There were two small circles at the N end and some bones were also found. This feature could not be located. It was situated on grazing land with some rock outcrop close to the sandhills at Tramore on Sheephaven Bay. 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.'

• DG026-011 Rock art
  Description

  A stone with what appeared to be a footprint about 8 inches long, the heel part apparently formed by a cupmark was observed here (M. R. Colhoun 1945). The stone was built into the top of the W side of the road-bridge over a stream flowing into Glenree Lough. There is now no trace of it, but it may be obscured by a slight plaster cover on the bridge. The area consists of flat grazing land close to the seashore. 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.'
