Recorded monuments
- DG097-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
Internal diam. c. 30m. An earthen platform roughly 3m in height enclosed by a bank up to 2m in height with evidence for an external fosse. A stream which divides into two branches encircles the site. The site is located in good pasture land on top of a NNW-SSE ridge. There is rough, bog-covered grazing land to the N and W of the ridge. 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
- DG097-042001 Sweathouse
Description
Situated on steep W facing slope of river valley in upland area with stream immediately to the W. A roughly sub-circular sunken area (int. dims. 2m x 2.2m) built into the W face of rising ground enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank with evidence of internal stone facing forming a sunken interior with a possible entrance (Wth 0.8m) facing W towards the stream. No structure is indicated on any edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map. The shape of the interior and its location built into the face of a hillside with possible entrance facing onto a stream located immediately to the W suggests that this may be the remains of a possible sweathouse or a kiln of some sort. No kiln is indicated on any edition of the Ordnance Survey maps. A lime kiln is indicated on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map in the field to the W of the stream. A second possible sweathouse (DG097-042002-) is located 2m to the N. A third similar structure (DG097-043) facing onto the stream is located 90m further uplsope to the NNE.
