- DG026-028: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG026-028----. This feature was first shown on the 1847-9 edition of the OS 6-inch map. There is no trace of it now. In the middle of the 19th century two stones, one upright and the other prostrate, marked the site and were thought to be the last remains of a 'sepulchral monument' known locally as 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' (Fagan 1845-8; OS Revision Name Book, 1847-9). The upright stone was c. 4 feet (c. 1.2m) high, 31/2 feet (c. 1.05m) broad and 6 inches (c. 0.15m) thick. The prostrate stone was 7 feet (c. 2.15m) long, 3 feet (c. 0.9m) broad and 7 inches (c. 0.17m) thick. According to Fagan (1845-8), the upright stone marked the W end of a grave that had measured 71/2 feet (c. 2.3m) long and 4-5 feet (c. 1.2-1.5m) wide, and it was locally believed that the prostrate stone had stood upright at the E end of the grave. All trace of the site had been removed by 1902 (OS 1:2, 500 Name Book, 1902-3). This may have been a megalithic tomb but cannot be relied on as such on the basis of the available evidence. Fagan (1845-8), book 2, 15; OS Revision Name Book, sheet 26 (1847-9), 22; OS 1:2,500 Name Book, sheet 26 (1902-3), 44; Ó Nualláin 1983a, 46, no. 134; SMR 1987, 26:28; RMP 1995, 26:28.

- DG026-029: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG026-029----. The burial ground shown on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map could not be found in an area of dense bushes and grass. The site is a rocky ridge in light soiled land suitable for grazing. 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).

Marked 'Turras Columbkille' on 1905 ed. of OS 6-inch map. Its location is derived from the fieldwork map for the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal' (1983). Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'There is a Turus Colmcille at Colmcille's Holy Well about a mile from Massinass School. Stations are still made there' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 153) (Ó Muirgheasa No. 58) Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 04 November 2011
