Recorded monuments

• DG097-013001 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Fagan (Bk. 19, 6) records that 'Kill old graveyard' (DG097-013002-) was already destroyed by 1847. Human bones, and stone coffins have been dug out of the site which was also apparently enclosed by 'Great standing stones'. No definite trace exists now although a short line of boulders may have originally formed part of an enclosure. In a field to the W of the site is a rock-basin carved in a boulder. The site is located on S-facing ground sloping S to the sea in fairly good pasture. 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).

• DG097-013003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'Proceeding westwards from Killybegs, the first townland met with in Kilcar parish is Kill. Here on the slope, of the rugged hill north of the road was a Holy Well, now almost closed up. Some 20 or 30 yards lower down was an old graveyard (DG097-013002-), the site, no doubt, of the cill or church. When the plot was cultivated many years ago bones were dug up on the spot. No saint's name is remembered in connection with well or church, nor do the oldest people about remember having seen stations performed there. But the name of the townland indubitably attests the former existence of a church there, while the tradition of the Holy Well, and the contiguity of the latter to the site of the old graveyard, constitute a chain of circumstantial evidence sufficient to satisfy all reasonable requirements'(Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 146).
