Recorded monuments

• DG018-005 Cist
  Description

  A cist 2m × 0.5m was recorded here in 1976. It consisted of 7 stones in two lines 3 to E and 4 to W protruding through the sand with 2 stones lying nearby said to be captones (Lacy — unpublished notes). No end stones were noted. The cist was sand-filled. Fragments of bone had been found at the site in the past. A second cist was noted a few metres to the N. Neither of these could be located on this occasion. The site is located on ground rising from Portbane Strand and is subject to much sand shifting. 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).
