Recorded monuments

• DG090-005 Enclosure
  Description

  About 65 years ago during turf cutting operations a circular enclosure, formed of wooden stakes pointed and 'fired' driven into the mineral soil, was found under the turf. The area now consists of cut-away bog-land with a lot of pre-bog forest stumps in the vicinity. 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

• DG096-036 Mass-rock
  Description

  Mass Rock at base of S facing low hillock on the floodplains of the Ballaghdoo River located immediately to the E. This monument consists of a flat slab (L 1m; Wth 0.6m; T 0.1m) resting on several support stones forming an altar structure which was 0.25m high above the ground. This slab is known locally as the mass rock (pers. comm. S O'Beirne). The faintest remains of incised lines can be traced on the surface of the mass rock and these appear to be forming a crude St. Brigid's Cross although this identification is not certain. The remains of an 18th century church known as the Spanish Church can be seen in the same field 70m to the NW of the mass rock. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 19 July 2010
