Recorded monuments

• DG045-019 Standing stone
  Description

  A standing stone c. 1.7m high × 0.45m wide at base × 0.3m maximum thickness; ENE-WSW. Kinahan (1889, 278) noted some cup-marks on the stone but these are not now visible. Situated in wet, boggy land sloping gently down to S. 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).

• DG045-023001 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. 44m. A subcircular area defined on its N side by a grassed-over wall/bank up to 1m high, in which a number of stones can be seen, and on the S by a change in ground level 1m high revetted by large stones. A stream runs alongside the N bank. From 2m to 10m inside the outer 'enclosure' is an oval area, 25m E-W and 15m N-S enclosed by a partly grassed-over collapsed wall of small stones. There is a possible gap in this to the SE. On the N inner side of the inner enclosure is what appears to be a blocked-up souterrain (DG045-023002-). It is difficult to determine whether this is a bivallate site or univallate with an internal structure. The site is located on wet rough pasture on a NW to SE slope. 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).
