Recorded monuments
- DG055-006 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
There is now no trace of the single-ringed 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The present owners of the site uncovered a passage or tunnel here, some time ago. It was about 1ft 6in wide and about the same depth. Although the dimensions seem small, it is possible that this was a souterrain associated with the 'Fort'. Both monuments were located on the E slope of a low hill in good 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).

- DG055-007 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
No sign of the 'Fort' shown as a single-ringed circular enclosure on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, survives. It was situated on the E slope of a low hill in good 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).

- DG055-008 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
Description
This feature is named 'Giant's Grave' on the original OS 6-inch map (1835) and on the revised 6-inch map of 1845-7. There are no visible remains at the site. When Thomas Fagan (1845-8) visited here in 1846 he found two set stones amid a spread of loose stones. The taller one measured 2 feet (c. 0.6m) by 11/2 feet (c. 0.45m) by 4 feet (c. 1.2m) high. The other was 2 feet (c. 0.6m) high, 6 feet (c. 1.8m) long and 11/2 feet (c. 0.45m) thick.Unfortunately he did not comment on the positioning of the stones relative to each other. However, he thought that they represented the remains of a 'Giant's Grave'. The feature appears to have been cleared by 1903, the date of the OS 1:2,500 survey of the area, after which it was named 'Giant's Grave (Site of)' on the OS 6-inch map. The nature of the site remains uncertain. Fagan 1845-8, book 11, 15; Ó Nualláin 1983a, 45-6, no. 133; SMR 1987, 55:8; RMP 1995, 55:8. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
