Designated sites

• Special Protection Area: Lough Foyle SPA 004087

Recorded monuments

• DG030-008 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  The monument is c. 2km due W of Quigley's Point, which lies on the western shore of Lough Foyle. The immediate vicinity of the site provides level pasture. Toward the E is a gentle fall to the lough, and to the W is a steady rise to the summit of Crockglass, 2km away. This greatly ruined monument is incorporated in an earthen field fence. Two opposed orthostats, 1.4m apart and aligned NNE-SSW, protrude from the northern face of the fence. Immediately S of each a partly concealed stone rises above the top of the earthen bank. The orthostat to the E is 1.1m high. That to the W is 0.6m high. The eastern one of the two partly concealed stones rises 0.4m above the slope of the earthen bank and 0.3m above the adjoining orthostat. The western stone is almost wholly concealed. It rises only 0.15m above the top of the fence. Approximately 1m S of this is an upright stone at the S side of the fence. This is 0.7m long, 0.45m thick and 1.2m high. It may not be in situ. Two metres to the E a displaced slab, 1.8m by 0.6m, lies against the fence. According to an account in an OS Revision Name Book (1848), the structure then measured 12 feet (c. 3.65m) long and 4 feet (c. 1.2m) wide internally and was composed of stones set on edge, three at the W and four at the E. The stones are noted as varying from 1 foot to 31/2 feet (c. 0.3m to c. 1.05m) high. It is also recorded that a 'flag' that had covered the structure had been removed a short time before the site was visited. In 1943 Colhoun (1995) noted the 'recent' occurrence of destruction at the monument, including the removal of a roofstone. In 1982, when surveying the monument, we were informed that a stone had been removed from each side of its northern end within local memory. The remains are clearly those of a megalithic tomb but must remain unclassified.

• DG030-009 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
  Description

  Colhoun (1995) suggested that a mound at this location may contain a chambered grave. The mound, roughly rectangular, measures c. 7m by 3m by 1m high. It is grass grown, although some large stones are partly exposed at the surface. The mound is clearly an artificial feature, but it is not known whether it covers any structure.

• DG030-010 Burial ground
  Description

  The Calluragh marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps consists of a rectangular area sunk c. 0.5m below the outside surface and enclosed by a drystone wall. The interior is strewn with stones some of which seem to assume articulate patterns but it is difficult to be certain. It is located in grazing land sloping to Lough Foyle. 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).
