Recorded monuments

• DG105-001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  The holy well marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps could not be traced. Nearby was found a portion of a rotary quern now in the Rossnowlagh Museum. 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

• DG105-002001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Internal diam. c. 15.5m. Rathnacross, a circular area enclosed by a stone and earthen bank c. 0.5m high. A gap in the NE sector affords the only possible site for an entrance. There is a semicircular hollow (2.5m in diam. and 0.8m deep) in the SE quadrant which may have been a modern lime kiln. Near the centre of the site is an oval pit 2m × 1.25m and 0.6m deep. This may mark the site of the 'standing stone' marked on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. This stone no longer survives. It is situated on a high ridge commanding an area of marshy pasture land. Local tradition claims that a termon cross (DG105-002002-) stood within the site and gave it its name. This could possibly be identified with the 'standing stone' above. The site is said to have been on the route to the pilgrimage site of Lough Derg.
