Description
No archaeological significance. C225210 Excavation licence number 99E0343 The test excavations were positioned in order to assess the location and complexity of the remains of any archaeological deposits on the site of the proposed development. The site, which overlooks the Leanann River, slopes steeply downwards from south to north, and, although it was much overgrown along the margins, it was possible to excavate the two long trenches without difficulty. The third trench, however, was excavated running across the line of the slope from north-east upwards to south-west. The line of this trench was dictated by the fact that the general slope of the site was too great for the mechanical digger to track directly up the incline. The results from all three trenches were similar, with topsoil directly covering a yellow/brown, compacted, sandy clay. The results suggested that nothing of archaeological significance survives on the site. In fact, the general steepness of the area may have mitigated against any occupation of this general area of Ramelton in the past. (Excavations Bulletin 1999) Eoin Halpin, ADS Ltd, Unit 48, Westlink Enterprise Centre, 30-50 Distillery Street, Belfast BT12 5BJ. Excavation licence number 99E0636 Monitoring was carried out of the excavation of lift shaft trenches and foundation trenches and general ground reduction to an existing mill building and bottle factory in the vicinity of the site of an earlier castle at The Quays, Ramelton, Co. Donegal, between 22 October and 9 November 1999. The natural subsoil was sealed by a dark brown, silty clay that contained a number of sherds of post-medieval pottery and modern rubble with frequent red brick, slate, tiles etc. The uppermost strata are interpreted as representing redeposited archaeological layers/formation deposits for the building of the warehouse/mill buildings, and the deposits in Lift shaft 1 as material deposited to facilitate land reclamation or deeper excavations for the construction of the upstanding buildings. (Excavations Bulletin 1999). Declan Moore, 8 Yewland Green, Renmore, Galway. Excavation licence number 02E1058 No. 20 Bridge Street was demolished to make way for four local authority houses. To create the required space, levelling of a steep bank and demolition of a stone-built retaining wall were required. The wall was inspected by a conservation architect and found to be of no significance. It was recorded and taken down by hand. Uncut stones were bonded by a loose mortar with brick fragments. Behind this, the bank comprised 0.6m of dark topsoil overlying a light yellow, loose boulder clay. Nothing of archaeological significance was observed.

- DG046-005001 Castle - unclassified
Description
Ramelton Castle (site of): By 1619, Sir William Stewart had built a castle and bawn (DG046-005008-) and erected a village and church at Ramelton. In 1622, the castle was described as three and a half storeys high 'with 3 round flankers on the top of the castle, and round turret or staircase, 42 ft. high, with a battlement and platform. Adjoining to the castle is a house . . . 11/2 storeys high, slated and a guard house for soldiers and also adjoining a bawn of lime and stone, 80 ft. square . . . having 3 square flankers' (Hill 1877, 524; Treadwell 1953-5, 42). This castle was burned during the wars which followed on the 1641 rebellion (Simmington 1937, 98). Some two walls of the castle survived into the early 19th century and a sketch of these with a plan of the castle site and a short description are preserved among the OS Memoirs (see also Fagan Bk. 8, 33-4). Parts of the Castle are said to be incorporated under plaster in a modern building. The Castle was located at the head of an inlet where the Leannan river joins Lough Swilly, now inside the town of Ramelton. 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.'

- DG046-005002 Church
Description
Tullyaughnish Old Church: Built by Sir William Stewart, the church was near completion in 1622 (Hill 1877, 525; Treadwell 1953-5, 42). It continued in use until a new parish church was built in 1822-6(Rowan 1979, 463). The ivy-clad rubble-built church, 22.4m by 7.2m internally, has set-back corner buttresses and two others regularly spaced along the N wall. The upper section of the E gable has fallen and' the gable now presents a curvilinear outline. The four-light, round-headed E window with unusually thick mullions gives the anachronistic impression of a debased Perpendicular style. The visors are not dressed to accommodate the tracery and though the daggershaped centre-piece looks intrusive, it is tooled in a similar fashion to the rest of the window. Two moulded sections of tracery from some other window have been redressed and inserted in the tracery. The exterior is crowned with a hollow-bevelled hood-mould and above it a lintel from a splayed round-headed window incorporated in the wall. The ope has a pellet-moulded surround and the broad face is carved in false relief with a stylised tree between two lion-like creatures. It was brought from the old church on Aughnish island (Kinahan 1885-6, 424) and is probably 12th century in date (DG037-021). There are four large segment-headed windows in the S wall; the heads have been repaired and repointed with concrete. Some of the splayed ingoings are secondary and the masonry indicates that much of the upper section of the S wall is a later rebuilding, contemporary with these alterations. This is confirmed by an examination of the N wall where the surviving remains of the ingoings indicate that most of the three E windows were demolished and then blocked up when the wall was rebuilt. Seven mullion and three jamb fragments of similar date to those in the E window were reused as blocking material in the window at the E end of the N wall; some of these original 17th century windows must have had cut stone dressings with more than one light. At the W end of the N wall is a small blocked-up window with slightly pointed head and moulded jambs; part of the rear-arch and E ingoing is obscured by a 19th century memorial tablet. Some 2.5m E of the window, is a moulded fragment built into the exterior wall face. The W gable retains the lower courses of a bellcote which are partly preserved due to the secondary raising of the gable on either side by some 75-80cms. The gable had a large central oculus, 1.77 wide by 1.53m wide, now blocked-up. The moulded round-headed, sandstone, doorway is probably a secondary reconstruction; one of the S jamb stones is missing and the embrasure was reduced in width. The architectural evidence indicates that the church underwent major alterations and that these were probably carried out as part of a complete refurbishment of the building. It is possible that the tracery of the E window was removed at that time and subsequently rebuilt, its present haphazard arrangement being a local Gothick reconstruction. 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.'

- DG046-005004 Architectural feature
Description
The church (DG037-021001-) on Augnish Isle was replaced by another in Ramelton town in the early 17th century. A small, carved, window-head is said to have been removed there from the island (Kinahan 1885-6, 424). The site which was located on a small tidal island in Lough Swilly probably dates from at least the 12th/13th century.
- DG046-005005 Meeting-house
Description
The excavation of the meetinghouse took place between August and October, 1988. The now disused building is to be restored by the Ramelton Heritage and Development Association. It is of historical importance, being one of the earliest Presbyterian meetinghouses in the country, while the town of Ramelton was the birthplace and home of Francis Makemie, a founding father of the Presbyterian Church in America. The purpose of the excavation was to establish the original shape of the building and the date of its construction. The meetinghouse is twin-roofed, the central junction of the roofs being supported by a small portion of wall at either end (each of these contained about one-third part of an arch which was cut short, then blocked-in) and in the centre by two heavy wooden pillars, once the masts of the 1811 shipwreck 'The Saldanha'. These had been inserted during the early 19th-century renovations to the meetinghouse. The removal of plaster from the walls revealed features predating the renovations of c. 181 1. These consisted of blocked-in windows at each gable end of the north bay, but not the south, and the arches. Because there were no gable windows in the south bay, it was first thought that the structure was either a single roofed building or a classic 17th- or 18th-century 'T'-shaped meetinghouse, the arches being the windows or doors on either side and the south bay being an early 19th-century extension. The meetinghouse had been built on a slope and the excavation revealed that the ground level had been artificially raised at the east end by almost one metre, that both bays had been built at the same time and that the junction of the roofs had been originally supported by a row of arches running across the centre of the building. Pier bases were found. Two coins, probably deliberately deposited, were found together under a stone in the centre of the artificially deposited soil. These were dated 1681 and 1693. The other finds from the construction phase consisted of pottery of late 17th- to mid 18th-century date, thin greenish glass and pipe stems. The reason for the blocked-in windows, which are of an early 18th-century 'Venetian' style, is that these windows were placed over doors and were therefore higher than the windows in the southern gable ends (which are still extant). When the galleries were built, c. 1811, these Venetian windows were blocked-in for the insertion of new, higher ones, whereas all the low windows were left in place. There are no historical records of the building before the early 19th century, but a similar twin-roofed Presbyterian meetinghouse, demolished in 1905, is known from the nearby town of Convoy. This had been built in 1725. A similar construction date is suggested by the architectural style of the Ramelton building. This is supported by the finds, though the coins would have been some years old when deposited. (Excavations Bulletin 1988) Judith Carroll, Inishquin, Glencullen, Co. Dublin.

- DG046-007 Architectural fragment
Description
Outside the door of the Church of Ireland parish church in Ramelton are two medieval carved blocks. Both bear relief carving of 15th/16th century character and their upper sections are bevelled and dressed. Though believed to have been removed from Tullyaughnish Old Church (DG046-005002-) their original provenance and function are unknown. One bears the representation of a lion passant reguardant biting a stylised vine-leaf; another vine-leaf projects from its bifurcated tail. Two opposing beasts sejant with conjoined cat-like head guardant are carved on the other block; both tails terminate in a stylised vineleaf. There is a parallel carving from Magherabeg Friary at St. Ernans House (DG019-002 and DG036-033). The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
