• DG092-010 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Overall Diam. 31.35m NE-SW, 28.85m NW-SE. An oval-shaped earthen platform from 2m to 2.65m above the surrounding ground. An earthen bank up to .95m in height is evident along most of the W side. A fosse 2.7m in width is evident in the SW quadrant. A depression close to the perimeter on the ENE side is likely to be the remains of a lime-kiln. It is roughly 2.6m in diameter and 0.55m in depth. The site is located on the shoulder of the NE end of a drumlin in fairly good pasture. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.

• DG098-005 Church
  Description

  Inver Old Church (DG098-005-): The ruins of Inver church are situated on a bend at the mouth of the Eany Water river ·and mark the site of an early Christian monastery (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 388). The church was undoubtedly refurbished or rebuilt in the early 17th century. It was described in 1622 as in “reasonably good repair” and having a thatched roof. It incorporates fragments from an earlier church of late 12th/13th century date. The church continued in use until a new one was built in 1807 (Shaw-Mason 1816, 285; Rowan 1979, 319). The ivy-covered church ruins 16.25m by c. 5.2m internally are built of rubble. The walls stand to full height and are capped with a hollow chamfered eaves cornice; this was probably added when the church was slated in the early 18th century (Leslie 1940, 77). The inward bulge of the N and S walls is probably due to the higher ground level of the graveyard (DG098-005001). Four buttresses abut the E and W corners of the N and S walls; that at the NW survives intact. These are secondary additions; only the E and W faces are bonded into their respective gables. The E window is an enlargement of an earlier one represented by two courses of keel-moulded scontions with wide splay, late 12th or early 13th century in date. The blocked-up doorway at the W end of the N wall may be coeval; its head, a round arch of regular voussoirs, is crowned on the exterior with a simple stop-chamfered hood-mould, the key stone finial of which, a defaced human head (Fagan Bk. 16, 3), is missing. No visible trace of the jambs remain; the exterior ground level is just below the springing of the arch. The doorway has a flat rear-arch and only the E splayed ingoing survives. A blocked-up narrow single-light window with wide splay in the S wall might also belong to the same period. S of the E window is a shallow recess 1.3m high and 1.3m above the interior ground level. The back has fallen away; it may once have held a memorial. The two rectangular windows in the S wall originally had timber frames. The heads and rear-arches are missing. There are three similar windows in the N wall. That on the E had its head and rear-arch removed and was blocked up prior to the addition of the eaves cornice. The window beside it is partly blocked-up on the interior and has a memorial dated 1751 inserted in the ope; it retains its segment-headed rear-arch. The head and rear-arch of the remaining window in this wall have fallen away. The W door of the church is represented by the surviving S ingoing; the head has fallen and a ragged gap above the door indicates the former presence of a window (Fagan Bk. 16, 3). The W 4.5m of the church once had a gallery, the opposing beam chases for which survive in the interior face of the N and S walls. The church is surrounded by a graveyard. The SW half of the graveyard (DG098-005001-) is greatly heightened and is enclosed by a curving wall. 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.'
