• DG053-027001 Rock art
  Description

  Kinahan (1879-88, 272) recorded that the Giants rock which was marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map had seven cupmarks i.e. two sets in triangular arrangements with an outlier. One hundred yards due E was another large flat stone (DG053-027002-) called the 'Giants Grave' which had two cupmarks. Nearby on a rock surface (DG053-027003-) were two or more cupmarks and on a smaller stone (DG053-027004-) about fifty yards S a smaller stone with one cupmark. None of these were discovered on this occasion. The stones were located in low-lying scrub-land close to the old Lough Swilly shoreline but land reclamation has totally altered the area. 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.'
