• DG010-010 Souterrain
  Description

  A closed-up souterrain. M. R. Colhoun recorded that it was about 50 yards long and about 4ft wide with several small chambers. The walls and roof were constructed of 'Flags' and it had a clean clay floor. It was high enough for a man to stand in except for a few 'Arches' where it was necessary to crawl. It is situated under a low rise in a grazing field W of the Clonmany river. 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).

• DG010-041 Souterrain
  Description

  Excavation licence number 04E1447. Test excavation was carried out on a proposed residential development site at Straid, Clonmany, Co. Donegal, on 26 October 2004. Although there are no recorded monuments on the site, a souterrain is known to be present. It was discovered some years ago when an opening in the roof of one of the chambers, possibly the original entrance, was uncovered. The proposed development plan provides for a 25m buffer zone around the monument. However, as it was considered possible that associated archaeological material might exist in the vicinity of the souterrain, a programme of testing was required. The souterrain, which is built into the upper slope of a hillock, was inspected prior to testing. A metal plate covering the existing point of access was removed to permit a preliminary examination of the monument. This chamber is a substantial beehive-shaped structure built of rounded stones and capped with large lintels. There are three further chambers to the south and south-west, each being accessed through a short creepway. The chambers are similarly constructed but vary somewhat in size and shape. The total extent of the souterrain is estimated at c. 10-12m north-west/south-east. A tracked excavator fitted with a wide toothless bucket was retained to open four trenches (30-90m long) across those parts of the development site lying nearest to the souterrain. Dark-grey/brown silty sand topsoil, averaging 0.3m in thickness, overlay coarse sand and gravel deposits on the high ground and silty sands on the low ground. No archaeological material was discovered during testing, but a series of mitigation measures were recommended.

• DG010-046 Souterrain
  Description

  Located c. 18m W of an 18th century C of I church, and c. 10m W of the wall of Clonmany graveyard (DG010-011001-), believed to be the early ecclesiastical site of Culmaine (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 377). A large hole (approx. diam. 2m) in the front garden of a modern bungalow leads down into a small roughly oval shaped, drystone-built chamber (int. diam. 1.67m E-W; 2.74m N-S; approx. max. H 3m). The roof of this chamber was originally corbelled but is now largely collapsed and the rubble partly fills the interior of the chamber. A small square-shaped opening (Wth. 0.65m; H 0.5m; L 0.6m) at the base of the chamber wall at SSE is a creepway leading into a stone-lined passage (L 4.6m; max. Wth 1.4m; H 1.34m) with natural clay floor orientated on a SSE-NNW axis. The walls of the passage incline inwards slightly towards the top and support a roof of stone lintels. At the SSE end of the passage, there is another square-shaped creepway (Wth. 0.58m; H 0.55m; L 0.39m) leading into a second stone-lined passage (L 5.3m; max. Wth. 1.25m; H 1.15m) which is blocked at the SSE end with rubble from the collapsed roof. Compiled by: Paddy O'Donovan Date of upload: 28 August 2008
