## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Kildrum Lower.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- DG055-029: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG055-029----. An entry in an OS Name Book (1835) claims that in this townland there are 'some remarkable stones supposed to be Druidical remains'. The feature may be that described by the word 'Stones' on the Fair Plan of the original OS 6-inch map (1835), in the typeface used to denote antiquarian features, at or near the position indicated in the heading, although there is no accompanying dot or mark to show its exact location. It is also named on the published map but not in antiquarian typeface, which suggests that on final consideration it was deemed not to be an antiquity. The name does not appear on later editions of the OS 6-inch map. There are no remains at the site, which is on rolling land c. 2km N of Carrigans in the basin of the River Foyle. The nature of this feature remains uncertain. OS Name Book, All Saints parish (1833), 23. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). Date of upload: 22 September 2008

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
