- DG010-019 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
Description
This feature was named 'Grania's Bed' on the original OS 6-inch map (1834) and 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' on the edition of 1848. All trace of it had been removed by 1945 (Colhoun 1995). It stood in pasture on the S-facing slope of Coolcross Hill. There are two short accounts of this feature. In the OS 1:2,500 Name Book (1900-1901) it is described as 'an antiquity consisting of a few stones forming a rectangle'. Somerville (1929, 155-6) gave the following description: 'This appears to be the remains of a chamber grave. It is greatly ruined, and now consists of three slabs of stone only, set on their edges in the ground, parallel to one another, 5 feet [c. 1.5m] apart, marking the two sides of the grave; each slab being about 6 feet [c. 1.8m] long and 3 feet [c. 0.9m] high above present ground level. The capstone and all other of its original features have disappeared.' This may have been a megalithic tomb, but it cannot reliably be accepted as one on the available evidence.

- DG010-020 Anomalous stone group
Description
This feature, named 'Darby's Bed' on the original edition of the OS 6-inch map (1834), is shown but not named on the revised 6-inch map of 1848. It stands at the western edge of a stream and consists of two stones at right angles to each other. The larger one, an upright slab, lies ENE-WSW and is 1.07m long, 0.2m thick and 1m high. The smaller stone is just S of the eastern end of the larger. This is a low stone, 1m long, 0.5m thick and 0.3m high. The nature of this artificial feature is unclear.
