Recorded monuments

• DG060-010 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  Marked 'Carn' on the OS 6-inch maps this enigmatic monument is known locally as Leachtas. It consists of one half of a subcircular feature c. 10m in diameter formed by a bank of earth and stone. This runs into the modern earthen bank along the NE-SW road which seems to have destroyed the NW half of this site. The interior is now used as a gravel dump and its original nature is unclear. It is peculiarly situated on the edge of a steep hill of rough pasture falling sharply SE to a stream and was formerly overhung by higher rock outcrop to the NW now much quarried. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
