• DG079-029 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. 20m-25m. A circular platform formerly enclosed by a massive earthen bank which survives on the N and E sides. It is raised 2m above the surrounding field and the bank survives up to 1m in height. It is very overgrown but is situated in good pasture with wide views. There are local traditions of a 'tunnel' in the 'fort'. 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).

  Description

• DG079-043001 Cist
  Description

  At the W edge of a low E-W ridge with views to the N, E and S. It was discovered in 1984 when the capstone was dislodged during ploughing. It was investigated in the same year by O’Connor on behalf of the National Museum of Ireland. Slightly wedge-shaped short cist (dims. 0.84m ENE-WSW; 0.38m NNW-SSE; D 0.4m) originally defined principally by six slabs set on edge, one at each of the long sides and two each placed on top of each other on the short sides. The S side slabs appears to have extended beyond the W side. The floor was paved with a single slab. The capstone (dims. 1.32m x 0.78m; T 0.27m), was not in its original position. The Gardaí had removed earth from the interior of the cist. Despite this a number of bones from an inhumation were recovered. No artifacts were identified. A second cist (DG079-043002-) was discovered c.3m SW (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 1, 153-158). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 February 2013

• DG079-043002 Cist
  Description

  At the W edge of a low E-W ridge with views to the N, E and S. This monument was investigated by O Floinn and Cherry in 1989 on behalf of the National Museum of Ireland. Trapezoidal-shaped short cist (dims. 0.94m N-S; 0.65m E-W; D 0.45m) defined principally by four flat edge set-stones. In addition two large slabs were placed across the short ends overlapping the end stones and it was upon these that the capstone was placed. The floor was paved with a single large slab and a number of smaller ones. The large capstone (dims. 1.7m x 1.1m; T .025m) lay just 0.15m beneath ground level. The large pit (dims. c.2.3m x 1.5m) dug to house the cist was oval in shape. The cist contained the crouched inhumation of an adult (1989:46) whose body had been laid on its left side with the head facing E. In the NE corner was a complete bipartite bowl (1989:45). A sample of bone from this cist yielded a date of 2205-1776 BC. This monument was located c.3m SW of a second cist (DG079-043001-) which had been excavated in 1984 (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 1, 153-158). Compiled by: Patrick F.
