- DG073-003 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
Description
This monument is shown as a small rectangular enclosure on the revised OS 6-inch map of 1847-50 but is not named there. However, it is named 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' on the pre-publication field map. It is 700m NNE of the last monument (Dg. 68) on a slight local rise in an extensive area of wet, boggy pasture broken by rock outcrops c. 2.3km NE of Ballinreavy Strand at the inner end of Loughros More Bay. The site commands an extensive outlook in all directions. One of the two portal tombs in the same townland (Dg. 70), 500m to the E, is visible from it. The monument consists of a gallery c. 6m long and 2-2.5m wide. Entry to it is at the E between two jambs. Outside the northern of these are two courtstones. A tier of three contiguous corbels overlies the inner half of the S side of the gallery, and outside this are two slipped corbels of, it appears, a second tier. A lintel, c. 1m inside the entrance jambs, spans the gallery sides. Between this and the entrance jambs are four displaced slabs on the floor of the gallery. Approximately 1m in front of the gallery is a large prostrate slab that appears to be a displaced lintel. There are two slabs just outside the front half of the N side of the gallery, the eastern one of which may be a slipped corbel. Some small slabs lying in the inner half of the gallery and others heaped just outside it are not shown on the plan. A slightly raised area can, with some difficulty, be traced around the sides and back of the gallery, which seems to indicate cairn remains. This raised area is largely grass grown but is broken in places by rock outcrops; it measures 17m N-S by 22m E-W. In front of the gallery is a very gradual fall in ground level, but the limits of the possible cairn material here cannot be determined. The outer one of the two courtstones on the N arm of the court, a substantial block, is 1.2m high. The inner leans to the SE and rests on a small stone at its outer end. It would stand 1.3m high if upright. The stone it rests against seems firmly set but is not definitely structural. It measures 0.45m by 0.2m by 0.45m high. The jambs at the entrance to the gallery are tall, flat-topped, well-matched stones, 0.95m apart. The northern one, set transversely, is 1.45m high, and the southern one is 1.6m high. There are three orthostats on each side of the gallery. The outermost sidestone at the S is 0.85m high. It partly overlaps the outer face of the adjacent jamb, which rises 0.6m above it. The second sidestone is also 0.85m high, and the third, which is partly concealed, is 0.9m high. The outermost of the three orthostats at the N side of the gallery, its top c. 0.3m below that of the adjacent jamb, is 0.6m high. It slightly overlaps the outer face of the second orthostat, which rises 0.5m above it and is 1.7m high. The third sidestone on this side is 1.3m high. The backstone is set between the sides of the gallery. It is a tall stone, 1.65m high, and when intact seems to have been gabled in outline. The northern half of this stone has been broken off at just above ground level. The easternmost of the three contiguous corbels above the S side of the gallery is partly supported by two small stones (not on plan) resting on the sloping outer end of the sidestone next to the backstone. It measures 1.1m by 1.1m and is 0.45m thick. The second corbel measures 1.25m by 1.35m and is 0.35m thick, and the third measures 0.85m by at least 0.9m by 0.4m thick. The eastern one of the two slipped corbels outside this end of the gallery leans against the easternmost of the three corbels just referred to and measures 1.85m by 1.7m by 0.4m thick. The western slipped corbel is prostrate. It measures 1.55m by 1.5m and is 0.5m thick. The eastern one of the two displaced slabs outside the N side of the gallery measures 1.15m by 0.85m and is 0.4m thick. The western slab, 0.2m to the W, is partly buried and measures 1.3m by 0.7m by 0.35m thick. The lintel spanning the gallery is very probably displaced and appears to be inverted. It now rests on the middle orthostat at either side of the gallery. Its upper surface is flat, and its bellied underside dips below the tops of the supporting sidestones and is no more than 0.45m above the present floor of the gallery. It measures 2.7m by lm by 1.3m thick. The lintel-like slab lying in front of the gallery measures 2.8m by 1.2m by 0.85m thick. The four displaced slabs in the front part of the gallery range from 1.lm to 2.4m in maximum dimension. All are likely to have formed part of the structure, although their original roles are now unclear. A watercolour of this monument (RIA MS 3 C 33) is reproduced above. Dated 1799, it is based on an original drawing made some years earlier (see Introduction). It shows a lintel in place above the front of the gallery. This lintel largely obscures what appears to be a second one further along the gallery, only the S end of which is visible on the drawing and which may be that still on the gallery sides. When Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited the site in 1847 it was in much the same state as it is now. A brief account in an OS Revision Name Book (1847-50) refers to the 'foundations of cabins' on or near the site, but these are not now apparent. On the basis of its length it could be expected that the gallery was originally divided into two chambers.

- DG073-004 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
Description
This monument is 500m E of the last (Dg. 69), on a gently undulating expanse of bog broken by occurrences of outcropping rock, and lies 2.6km NE of the inner end of Loughros More Bay. The monument consists of the remains of two portal tomb chambers, one just over 9m behind the other, in the slight remains of a long mound aligned NNE-SSW. One chamber, orientated NE-SW, stands 5m from the NNE end of the mound. The other, a very small one, is 5.5m from the SSW end of the mound, the orientation of which it shares. The circle of stones that Borlase (1897, 240) claimed surrounded the larger chamber is not apparent. The mound, trapezoidal in outline, measures 26m NE-SW, narrows from c. 17m at the NE to c. 8m at the SW and is c. 0.8m in overall height. A modern field wall runs NW-SE across the mound between the two chambers. The north-eastern chamber The north-eastern chamber is well preserved. It is c. 2m long and 1.4m wide internally. Its present floor is up to 0.4m below the surface of the surrounding mound. The entrance to the chamber, at the NE, is formed by two longitudinally set portal-stones with an intervening sillstone. A single stone, more or less in line with the adjoining portal-stone, forms each side of the chamber. A tall stone at the SW and a lesser stone beside it mark the back of the chamber. The sidestones overlap the outer end of each. On the ground immediately outside the southern end of the western sidestone is a large wedge-shaped slab, perhaps a slipped corbel. Originally it may have rested on the sidestone. A massive roofstone covers the chamber. It rests on a pad-stone on top of the backstone and on the two portal-stones. The two portal-stones are well-matched slabs. The gap between them is 0.7m wide at their outer ends and increases to lm toward the interior. The eastern one, a more or less flat-topped stone, is 1.8m high. The western one, the top half of which slopes down toward the back of the chamber, is also 1.8m high. Both rise c. 1.lm above the largely flat-topped sillstone. This stone is 0.6m high except over the easternmost one-quarter of its length, which is 0.1m lower than the rest. The eastern sidestone, the top of which is lm below that of the adjacent portal-stone, is 0.7m high at its inner face. The western sidestone decreases in height from 1.2m at its outer end to 0.9m at its inner end. The possible slipped corbel outside the end of this measures 1.6m by 0.9m and varies from 0.1m to 0.4m thick. The small orthostat between the western sidestone and the backstone is 1.1m high at its inner face. The backstone, lozenge shaped in plan, is 1.3m high. The pad-stone on the backstone measures 0.35m by 0.3m and is 0.15m thick. The portal-stones rise 0.3m above the top of the pad-stone, thus causing the roof stone to slope down from front to rear. The roofstone is 4.2m in overall length. It is 3.7m wide at the front and for just over the initial one-third of its length is not less than 3.5m wide. It narrows steadily beyond this and is c. lm wide at the back. It is 0.7m thick at the front, increases to a maximum of 0.9m above the portal-stones and decreases steadily beyond that to 0.3m at the back. The two supposed cupmarks on the upper surface of this stone (Borlase 1897, 239; Crozier 1957, 66) are not convincing and may be natural. Small sherds of plain Neolithic pottery—three in all according to A.T. Lucas (1960, 18), five according to Herity (1964, 138; 1982, 319)—picked from the floor of this chamber were acquired by the National Museum in 1958. The south-western chamber The smaller chamber is 1.5m long and lm wide internally. A fill of loose stones on the floor of the chamber obscures the lowermost 0.2-0.3m of the stones shown on the sectional profile. The entrance to the chamber consists of two well-matched, longitudinally set portal-stones with a sillstone between their inner ends. A single stone forms each side of the chamber, the eastern one in line with the portal-stone beside it, and the western set outside the line of the other portal-stone. The chamber is closed by an inward-leaning backstone. The backstone is set beyond the end of the eastern sidestone and leans against it. It also leans against the inner face of the western sidestone, which disappears into the ground beside the backstone and may extend beyond it. A lintel rests on the portal-stones and supports the front of a roofstone, the back of which rests on the backstone. The roofstone has slipped sideways and now rests on the W end of the lintel. Its western edge dips groundward and at the rear rests against a long narrow stone, apparently a corbel, lying on and largely concealing the western sidestone. A displaced slab in the chamber now leans against the eastern sidestone and rises considerably above it. The original role of this stone is unclear. The well-matched portal-stones are 0.75m apart. Both are lm high. They rise c. 0.6m above the sillstone, which is c. 0.4m high. The top of this stone slopes evenly from W to E so that the W end is c. 0.1m higher than the E. The lintel above the portal-stones measures 0.9m by 0.45m and is up to 0.25m thick. The eastern sidestone is 0.5m high. Only the inner face of the western sidestone is visible. Its top is 0.3m below that of the backstone, which would stand c. 0.6m high if upright. The corbel above the western sidestone measures 2.25m by 0.45m by 0.4m thick. The displaced slab in the chamber measures 1.5m by 0.9m by 0.2m thick. The roofstone is 1.9m long and narrows from 1.4m wide at the front to c. 0.5m at the back. It decreases from 0.4m thick at the front to 0.25m at the back. A watercolour of this monument (RIA MS 3 C 33) is reproduced here. Dated 1799, it is based on an older original drawing (see Introduction). It shows that the roofstone of the smaller tomb was then in place above the chamber. However, it had become 'partly dislodged' by 1847, when Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited the monument. Whether it had attained its present position at this date is not known.

- DG073-005 Enclosure
Description
Marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch maps an arc of stone wall incorporating near its E end a large erratic boulder. The chord of the arc would measure 30m. The wall consists of a double line of closely set stones, flush against one another. The wall is from .7m to 1.1m in width. The site is located ENE of Sheskin More Lough, in an area of rough grazing with some blanket bog and rock outcrop. 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).

- DG073-006 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
Description
This monument is shown on the 1847-50 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a small rectangular enclosure but is not named. However, it is named 'Dermot and Grama's Bed' on the pre-publication field map. The monument, 6km NNW of the village of Ardara, is 1.6km N of Ballinreavy Strand, which is at the inner end of Loughros More Bay. It stands on rough, wettish, generally level pasture broken by outcropping rock and scattered erratics. The monument consists of a small roofed chamber, 1.45m long and 1.2m wide, facing SSE. It stands close to the centre of a sub-oval grass-grown mound measuring 7.5m N-S by 11m E-W and 0.7m in overall height. Patches of peat on parts of the cairn suggest that the monument was at one stage substantially enveloped in bog. A single stone forms each side of the chamber, and it is closed by a gabled backstone. Only the western portal-stone survives. This, the backstone and a small stone (not on plan) laid on top of the inner end of the eastern sidestone support the horizontally laid roof stone. Immediately in front of the western sidestone is a small firmly set stone (not hatched on plan) of uncertain status. It measures 0.3m by 0.15m and is 0.25m high. A stone, on edge, lying across the outer part of the chamber appears to be displaced. It measures 0.7m by 0.1m and rises 0.2m above the ground here. Several loose boulders (not on plan) lie around the site. The portal-stone is 0.6m high. It rises 0.25m above the top of the western sidestone, which overlaps it. This sidestone is 0.35m high. The eastern sidestone is 0.6m high. The backstone, set beyond the chamber sides, is also 0.6m high. The small stone wedged between the underside of the roofstone and the top of the eastern sidestone is triangular and measures 0.15m by 0.08m by 0.05m thick. The roofstone, straight edged at the front, narrows to a point beyond the backstone. It is 2m long and up to 1.5m wide. Its inner half is 0.35m thick, and its outer half is 0.15-0.2m thick. A supposed 'shallow cup mark' on its upper surface (Crozier 1957) is probably of natural origin. Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited the site in 1847, and it is clear from his account that the monument was then in the same condition as it is now. This small megalithic chamber is classified as a portal tomb but with some reservation. The portal-stone is of exceptionally slight dimensions, and its complete overlap by the sidestone is an unusual feature.
