## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- DG015-021: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG015-021----. Internal diam. 16m. A circular area enclosed by a ruined stone wall orig-inally c. 2.4m wide. There is a low heap of loose stones in the interior on the N side. The site is located in an exposed position close to the sea, with steep falls to the S and W. There is poor pasture in the immediate vicinity but better land at lower levels. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
- DG015-022: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG015-022----. The NW arc of a low, ill-defined and grassed-over bank/wall survives. It measures 14m from its NE to its SW tip. Externally the edges of a few stones are visible. A ruined, old field fence crosses the site on the SE. The site is in an elevated position overlooking a valley to the W. To the E is gradually rising ground. There is rough grazing immediately about the site but good land in the valley to the W. The remains and local topography suggest this was a cashel, but it is not possible to be certain.

- DG025-009: Megalithic tomb - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG025-009----. The monument stands on a level tract of boggy pasture 1.6km E of the court tomb (Dg. 52) in Errarooey Beg townland and 1.5km S of the sandy beach to the E of Dooros Point. Muckish Mountain and the peaks to its SW form the skyline to the S. The monument, poorly preserved and obscured by bushes, is difficult to interpret. Five orthostats are present. At the W two opposed stones with flat inner and sloping outer faces stand 1.8m apart. Both are aligned E-W. The northern one is 0.7m high, and the southern one is 0.75m high. Beside the E end of the last, and angled to the NE, is a stone 1.2m in exposed height. The fourth orthostat is immediately SE of this. It is 1m in exposed height. The fifth orthostat, 0.45m in exposed height, adjoins the SE end of the last. A piece may have been broken from the top of this stone. A displaced stone, 0.7m by at least 0.8m by 0.5m, lies against the W face of this stone. There is another displaced stone, 1.8m by 1m by 0.6m, c. 0.5m S of this, which rests on a small stone (not on plan). Approximately 2.5m to the NE is another displaced stone. This measures 1.2m by 1m and is over 0.3m thick. There is a grass-grown mound, stony underfoot, around the structure, but its limits cannot readily be defined in the heavy overgrowth. Some loose stones also lie on and around the site. Intermittent stones, protruding up to 0.5m from the bog-grown surface, form a curved line c. 10m to the N and W of the monument. These appear to represent an ancient fence. According to Fagan (1845-8), this monument had been considerably ruined by the mid-19th century. Among the ruins he noted one 'grave', which was '7 feet [c. 2.15m] long and 4 feet [c. 1.2m] wide…enclosed at sides by two slabs over 51/2 feet [c. 1.7m] in length each placed edgeways along the grave and inclining inward from base to top where they nearly close over the grave the ends of which close by smaller stones'. He also claimed that many 'graves' had been destroyed here. The remains cannot be classified, but the two opposed orthostats at the site, with their flat inner and sloping outer faces, are similar to the corbel-bearing orthostats frequently present in court tombs and may represent a chamber aligned E-W. Fagan 1845-8, book 3, 16; Ó Nualláin 1983a, 46, no. 136; SMR 1987, 25:9; Ó Nualláin 1989, 142; RMP 1995, 25:9. 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).

- DG025-053: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG025-053----. In pasture, located on top of a ridge, at the break of slope at the N end of the ridge where ground falls away steeply. The location provides sweeping views to NE−WSW of hilly, undulating pastureland, backed at SE−S by a rocky ridge, and to NW of an expanse of dunes with the Atlantic beyond. There is a stream at the base of the ridge c. 280m to SW. This enclosure consists of a circular area (19.5m E−W; 19.5m N−S) defined by a low profile, sod-covered bank (Wth 3.5-5m; int. H 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 0.3m at S, 0.6m at W) with broadly sloping sides. At NE−E a short section of an inner kerb of stones, two of which are edge-set, remains in situ. Low stones protruding from the sod along the outer edge of the bank here may be part of an external stone facing. The remnants of stone facing suggest that the original enclosing bank or wall may have had a width of c. 2m. At SW−N the inner face of the bank has been modified to a low, linear vertical scarp (H 0.45-0.5m) as a result of incorporation into a later field fence/wall, now partly removed. The external face of the bank is not clearly defined here but merges with the steep natural fall of the ridge slope. At N−NE the bank is overlain or truncated by a later field wall. There is a break or very low section (Wth 3m) of bank at W, and another at S but it is unclear if either represents an original entrance. Natural undulations on the ridge top give the effect of a slightly sunken or dished interior. Several shallow pits (dims. 2-5m), dug to extract bedrock, are evident in the ridge slope immediately downslope of the enclosure at NW and NE.

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
