Recorded monuments

• DG045-015 Souterrain
  Description

  Although inaccessible for the most part, a 15m stretch of souterrain with drystone walls and a lintel roof can be traced running E-W in a number of surface open-ings. Kinahan (1889, 286) recorded that traces of fires and 'the broken bones of Irish elk' had been found here. The site, which is partly overgrown, is located at the base of a steep SE-facing slope in an area of fair pasture. 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).
