- DG025-012: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG025-012----. Dimensions 23.5m E-W, 24.5m N-S. An artificially constructed mound of stones c. 1m above the present level of Port Lough. It is covered by trees and vegetation except on the W side where parts of a saddle quern and a portion of a rotary quern were found. There are two landing stages consisting of three-sided projections one to the E and another to the S. It is situated c. 150m offshore. 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
- DG025-013: Megalithic structure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDG025-013----. This feature was first shown on the 1847-9 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is represented by two set stones. These are 1.3m apart, parallel to each other and aligned NNW-SSE. The eastern stone is 1.1m long, 0.15m thick and 0.45m high. The western is 0.5m long, 0.2m thick and 0.6m high. Fagan (1845-8), who saw the site in 1845, claimed that these stones were the remains of an 'ancient sepulture' of the type commonly called 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' and that flags and large blocks of stone had been removed from the site within local memory for building purposes. Although the two stones here may be the remains of some form of megalithic structure, the nature of any such is now unclear. Fagan 1845-8, book 3, 19; OS Revision Name Book, sheet 25 (1847-9), 12; Ó Nualláin 1983a, 49, 178; SMR 1987, 25:13; RMP 1995, 25:13. 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).

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.
