Recorded monuments

• DG024-005 Burial ground
  Description

  There is no trace of the site of a burial ground marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The site is on a slight W-facing slope in pasture land. 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 Excavation licence number 01E0059 Monitoring was carried out in the townland of Killult, Falcarragh, Co. Donegal, on 27 January 2001. The proposed development entails the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling-house and associated services and access road. The site is on high ground to the west of Falcarragh village, overlooking Ballyness Strand, and is near a burial-ground. Excavations were carried out at the location of the proposed house, access road and sewage treatment plant. Topsoil and sod overlay a compact yellow brown sand and bedrock. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted during the course of monitoring.
