A rectangular cist 1.12m × 0.34m orientated E-W was found here. The floor consisted of a slab-stone as did the side and end walls which were backed by a second slab. The cist had been covered by a slab when found and contained cremated bones. .5m S of the cist but in the cist pit were found sherds of a foodvessel/encrusted urn type vessel. It was located in a sand ridge in poor rocky pasture. (Ó Ríordáin 1960, 9-12). 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).

- DG044-013: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG044-013----. This site, on a narrow, level terrace on a steep W-facing hillside, is a rectangular stone-built structure measuring, internally, 4m N-S by 2-2.5m E-W. Its eastern side is formed by a large erratic stone, 4m long, 1.6m in greatest width and 1.6m high. The other three sides are formed by stones set on edge, the largest 1.9m long and 0.6m high. Grass-grown peat in the interior rises 0.5m above the level of the ground around the structure. The nature of the site is uncertain, but it may have been a hut or shelter and may be of some antiquity. The position of this structure is incorrectly shown on the 1847-9 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On this map the name 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' relates to a point c. 300m N of the correct position. OS documents confirm this error. The SMR (1987) and RMP (1995) for County Donegal have separate entries for the two locations.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
