Recorded monuments

• DG009-006001 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  'St. Columkille's well (DG009-006002-), modernised and surrounded by a cairn (DG009-006001-) of stones left by pilgrims (Ó Muirgheasa No. 70). It is situated to the E of a base of a steep cliff.' (Lacy. 1983, 302). Upon inspection in 2011 it was recorded that the oval shaped cairn (dims. c.12m N-S; c.8m E-W) extends back in a N direction from the well. It is composed of small and medium stones rises to a max. height of c.4m at the NW end. It is likely that the original cairn material was augmented by spoil from clearance works undertaken c.2010. Pale, brown and white chippings now surround the cairn and appear to have been placed on terram after an area was cleared. A clear cut edge is visible on the NW side. A semi-circular structure of uncertain function (DG009-006003-) was identified at N. 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.'

• DG009-006002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  'St. Columbkille's well (DG009-006002-), modernised and surrounded by a cairn (DG009-006001-) of stones left by pilgrims (Ó Muirgheasa No. 70). It is situated to the E of a base of a steep cliff.' (Lacy 1983, 302) Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'Tobar Colmcille, in Doughcrabin townland, near Doaghbeg School in Fanad. Stations are still made on Colmcille's Day, 9th June, as follows: Station-5 paters and aves on front of well: next 7 paters and aves to left of well: then, having gone around behind well sunwise, 7 paters and aves to right of well. Repeat three times. Then walk three times around the well, throwing a pebble on mound each time, and finish by prayer (your petitions) in front of well. Bring away a bottle of water from the well' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 154). Upon inspection in 2011 it was recorded that the well was covered by two flat slabs resting upon two rectangular piers composed of mostly small, irregularly-shaped mortared stones. This structure was erected in 2010. Votive offerings: statues, roasary beads, crosses, biros, flowers, stones, pictures and coins have been placed upon the slabs. 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 Lacy 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).

• DG009-006003 Structure
  Description

  As a consequence of works undertaken in 2010 a hitherto unrecognised structure was exposed at the N end of a substantial cairn (DG009-006001-) which partially surrounds a holy well (DG009-006002-). It is approximately circular (diam. 1.75m; D 1.75m) and is defined by a moss-covered drystone-built wall comprising several courses of field stones. It opens to the N. The function of this structure is unknown. It has been suggested that this may a hut or shelter or a stopping point of the turas associated with the holy well.
