- DG038-013001 Church
Description
The early ecclesiastical site of Fahan consists of a modern graveyard, at a bend in the road. It is possible that this bend may reflect something of an earlier enclosure. Inside the graveyard (DG038-013004-) is part of a ruined church. Fahan old Church (DG038-013001-): In 1622, the parish church was 'well and sufficiently repaired' (Royal Commission, 191) and it continued in use until the new church was built in 1820 (Rowan 1979, 289). Only the E gable at full height and 5.67m wide internally, and adjoining sections of N and S walls survive. A low cross wall now devoid of railings at the W end of the latter encloses the burial plot of the Hawkshaw family whose memorial is set below the E window. The walls are built of rubble and the E gable has two antae-like projections; ivy has partly dislodged that on the S. The three-light round-headed E window has simple switch-line tracery and four rows of transverse iron glazing bars. It is probably of 17th century date. There is a blocked-up rectangular window, .76m high with simple jambs and splayed ingoings in the S wall. The general style and dressing is different to that of the E window and point to its being of an undoubtedly earlier date. The exterior of the church is harled and the interior preserves sections of two superimposed coats of plaster. SE of the church is St. Mura's cross-slab (DG038-013002-). The slab is 2.1m high × 1.04m N-S and·.18m thick. The top of the slab has been worked into a triangular shape. A narrow band around the edges, frames the slab on both sides. On each side is carved a cross formed of broad double-edged interlaced ribbon. On both faces this consists of a Greek cross mounted on a stem giving the effect of a Latin cross. There is a boss at the centre of each cross. On the E face of the slab there are two small concentric circles around a small boss, in each of the hollowed angles of the cross. Two rudimentary arms protrude from the slab at a point coinciding with the arms of the cross on the E face. Also on this face, in the triangular space above the cross, are two affronted birds. On the W face of the slab a figure can be seen on either side of the cross stem. It has been suggested by Macalister, that patterns on the dress of each figure are inscriptions; however, this has been rejected by Henry (1965, 125-8). Also on the W face the cross stem expands outwards beneath the figures and acts almost as a platform. Macalister also read the doxology 'Glory and honour to the father the son' and holy spirit', inscribed in Greek characters on the N edge of the slab. This reading has been accepted by other scholars. On the outside wall of the graveyard on the S side of the entrance is a small slab (DG038-013003-) .41mx .32m. On this is a carved wheeled cross. This stone is very similar to another found near. Clonca (DG012-002001-). On the other side of the entrance is a stone (DG038-013007-) .66m × 0.5m built into the wall. Through this is bored a hole 14.5 cms in diameter. The site of Fahan is situated in a valley at the foot of Collan Hill and Carrick Hill close to the shore of Lough Swilly. About 350m NW of the churchyard and close to the shore is a holy well (DG038-012-) dedicated to St. Mura (Ó Muirgheasa No. 89). (Crawford 1980, 29; Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 36; Macalister 1949, 118 20, No. 951; Spence 1910-11, 17-31) (see also DG004-005001-) The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.

Harbison (2002-) The High Crosses of Ireland: An Iconographical and Photographic Survey, 3 vols., Habelt, Bonn, vol. 1. 88-9). Cross-decorated slab 'Standing close to the roofless church in the churchyard of Fahan Mura is an upright slab with triangular top, which is included in this corpus not because of the arm-like tenons projecting from its sides, but also because of the role it has played in the discussions about the evolution of the 'Celtic' cross. The slab is 2.10m tall, 90cm wide and 20cm thick at the bottom. The corners have a roll moulding, and the tenons project from the narrow sides to a maximum of 7cm. The south side is undecorated. EAST FACE A cross outlined by a raised moulding stands out in relief from the east face. It is filled with interlacing which has a broad central band flanked on each side by a narrower band. There is a boss in the centre of the cross, and in each armpit there is another having two concentric circles on its upper surface. There are two birds facing one another in the gable at the top of the slab, their curving beaks crossing one another. WEST FACE The west face has a cross standiing out in some relief, but its interlace and terminals have a more elaborate form than those on the cross on the east face. There is a rounded boss at the centre of the cross, surrounded by three-strand interlace with broad central band, which stands in relief on the cross surface and which crreates an arcaded shape at the end of the terminals. The interlace of the shaft of the cross on this face is more closely meshed. There is a single figure standing in profile on wither side of the shaft, which some have identified as ecclesiastics, and others as women. Their hair falls down in strands behined the steep fronted heads, and on their long garments there are inscriptions which have never been satisfactorily deciphered. The interlace of the shaft of the cross branches out on either side at the bottom to form a platform for the two standing figures. NORTH SIDE On the north side there is a two-line Greek inscription running from top to bottom which Macalister deciphered as follows : Glory and Honour to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost' Attached photos, taken on 15th December 2006: DG038-013002-_01.JPG East face DG038-013002-_02.JPG North side DG038-013002-_03.JPG West face Date of upload: 22 September 2008

NGR 234400/426350 Tim Coughlan undertook monitoring of a strip 115m long and with a variable width of 2-15m at this site in July 2000 (see below No. 177). The site was within 20m of an ecclesiastical site and graveyard. Monitoring, carried out on behalf of Donegal County Council, failed to reveal any features or finds of archaeological interest. Later, the writer received a phone call from Dúchas The Heritage Service stating that human bone had been found in an area north of that monitored by Mr Coughlan (but outside the archaeological monitoring area). The writer was on site on 7 and 8 September to record any features uncovered and to ensure that there was no further impact on the archaeological resource through permitted development. All skeletal material had been removed before arrival on site. It was subsequently examined by Dr Marie Cassidy, Department of Forensic Medicine, Trinity College, Dublin. She confirmed the remains to be of an adult, which could represent a single person. There was insufficient material to determine whether this was male or female. It was concluded that the remains were not modern and possibly well in excess of 100 years old. Archaeological excavation and recording revealed that the human remains came from a cut, measuring 1.2m east-west by 0.8m. There were two fills, with the primary fill containing redeposited natural with large stone inclusions, while the upper fill consisted of loose, black, slightly silty clay with tree root and large stone inclusions. It was reported by the workers on site that the human remains came from this upper fill. Excavation proceeded to a depth of 1.3m, at which point the base of the cut had not been revealed. This negative feature was seen to truncate the previous road surface and can therefore be claimed to be of recent origin. An area measuring 30m (east-west) x 8.5m, located slightly to the west of where the human remains were found, was required to facilitate development. Excavation in this area was monitored. Excavation revealed one circular negative feature, measuring 0.41m north-south x 0.4m, cut into natural. The fill consisted of a friable, brown clay with animal bones, small shell fragments and possibly a small number of human bone remains (awaiting detailed analysis). Excavation revealed vertical sides and a flat base. At the western end of the excavated area an east-west layer was recorded. This was truncated by an already existing sewer on its southern side and by the existing road on its northern side. It measured 7.5m east-west x 0.95m. It had a single fill of friable, silty clay with moderate stone and shell inclusions. No datable material was recovered. (Excavations Bulletin 2000) Dermot Nelis, Irish Archaeological Consultancy, 8 Dungar Terrace, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. Excavation licence number 00E0721 Testing was carried out on the site of a proposed housing development in Fahan, Co. Donegal. The proposed development entails the construction of ten two-storey detached dwelling-houses and associated services. Testing was also carried out at the location of 19 of 41 further proposed dwelling-houses for which outline planning permission has been confirmed. The site is located on a west-facing hillside to the north-east of Fahan graveyard and Glebe. It is bounded to the south-west by a low wall and laneway, separating the proposed development from the ecclesiastical site. The site is located on a gently rising, west-facing hillside, which affords good views south-west to Inch Island and Lough Swilly. Testing was carried out on 25 September 2000. Using a toothless trenching bucket, 29 test-trenches were excavated. Decaying/shattered bedrock was sealed by a series of natural, compact, grey/brown clays and loose, grey, sandy clays that in turn underlay topsoil and sod. Nothing of archaeological significance was observed. (Excavations Bulletin 2000) Declan Moore, Moore Archaeological and Environmental Services Ltd, 200 Dún na Coiribe, Galway.
- DG038-013005 Font
Description
A short right-angled stretch of masonry in the graveyard (DG004-005003-) adjacent to the modern church seems to be all that survives of a pre-17th century church (DG004-005001-) here. Just outside the door of the modern church is a painted stone font (DG004-007-), hexagonal in shape, c. 0.5m across with a hollow .3m in diameter and 0.2m deep. It is believed to have originally come from Fahan (DG038-013001-). Date of revision : 17 May 2009 Caimin O'Brien

Description
A large stone, uncovered when digging for a well. It is triangular in elevation, 1.47 × 1.16m × 1.1m, and 0.25m thick. There are 6 cup-marks, 2 with circles, one of which has a tail. It is situated now in the yard of a new bungalow, at the top of the cultivation level, on W sloping ground. 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).

- DG038-007 Ringfort - cashel
Description
No trace seems to survive of the oval stone enclosure recorded in 1929. It was said to be 35 ft × 25 ft with a second enclosing 'ring of stones' at the SW side, 10 ft outside the inner wall of 'rough stones'. It was somewhat ruined at the N and S ends and the discov-erer believed it to be a burial site or a hut circle. The outer ring might suggest, however, a destroyed cashel. It was situated c. 700 yards below the summit on the E slope of Gollan Hill. The area is now (though possibly reclaimed) good pasture. (Boyle-Somerville 1929, 166).

- DG038-011 Megalithic tomb - unclassified
Description
This monument is not shown on any edition of the as 6-inch maps. It stands on sloping pasture near the village of Fahan and c. 50m from the E shore of Lough Swilly. The sharply rising ground to the E of Fahan restricts the outlook in that direction. The megalithic remains at the site consist of four slabs: three in a line at the N, orientated NE-SW, and one at the S. These stones rise above the surface of a long grass-grown mound 12.3m long, 6.8m in maximum width and 1m high. Excavation would be required to determine how the orthostats relate to original ground level. The eastern of the three stones at the N side of the structure is 0.25m high, and the stone next to it is 0.5m high. The third stone here is 2.1m to the W of the last and is 0.7m high. The lone orthostat at the S is 0.5m high. There is a tree, shown on plan, 0.2m from its outer face. A smaller tree, close to the SW edge of the mound, is not shown. The nature of the remains is somewhat uncertain, but they may be those of a megalithic gallery at least 4m long and c. 1.3m wide, the northern side of which increased in height toward the W. It seems that the site was traditionally associated with St Mura, at least in the 19th century, when it appears to have served as a penitential station where an annual turas, or pattern, took place (Doherty 1891, 41-2). The rather neat outline of the mound might owe something to activity related to this aspect of the site. Doherty 1891, 41-2; SMR 1987, 38:11; Ó Nualláin 1989, 142; RMP 1995, 38:11.

- DG038-012 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'St. Mura's Holy Well is at Fahan. A turus is made there on the 12th March, St. Mura's festival; it is called Turus Fathana. St. Mura died 645 A.D. His crozier is in the National Museum, Dublin, and his bell in the Wallace collection, London. The well and "station are contiguous to each other; the former close to the Lough Swilly Railway near St. John's, the residence of Mr. Olphert; D.L.; the latter is in a field belonging to the same gentleman, and adjoins his garden; both are easily distinguished. Many miracles are spoken of traditionally as the result of the pilgrimages, but the record of miracles mentioned by Colgan is lost. It should be mentioned that the Holy Well of Fahan owes its preservation at the present day to the large-hearted reverence of a native of Inishowen, a gentleman, who, by the way, does not share the religious belief of the pilgrims who crowd the spot; it was he who prevailed upon the engineers of the Lough Swilly Railway to respect the Holy Well in fixing the curvature of the line. Consequently, to the former owner of St. John's, Major Marshall, J.P., aided by the active intervention of the worthy and venerated parish priest of Fahan, the late Rev. Bernard M'Eldowney, we owe the saving of the well from destruction. Major Marshall caused an ornate brick covering to be built over the well; but the vandalism, which had formerly, as Colgan says, effaced the remains of antiquity from the place, was still sufficiently rampant to tear down even the arched covering; and the fallen debris remains a monument to the ' rabidness of their fury.' " A fine photograph of St. Mura's Well appears in the " Ulster Journal of Archaeology" for 1908 or 1909' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156-7). (Ó Muirgheasa no. 89).
