Recorded monuments

• DG026-037 Burial ground
  Description

  Davies recorded a burial ground here, consisting of an oval enclosure with a few headstones. No trace of this could be found. It was situated on top of a low, S-facing slope in rough 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).

• DG026-041 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Marked 'Cashelbane Fort' on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch maps. It is not now visible. It stood on a long narrow ridge of rock in poor land overlooking lower ground to the N. 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).

• DG026-043 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 20m. A very ruined cashel wall survives on a rocky platform. It originally enclosed a roughly circular area. The outer faces of some large stones up to c. 0.5m in height are visible on the W. From NW to NE the wall has been almost completely turfed over. It survives to a height of c. 1.5m on the NE. Quarrying of the S end of the platform seems to account for the absence of the wall here. The site on a grass-covered rocky knoll overlooks low-lying wet, grazing land to the S and drier land to the N. 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).
