  Description

  Marked as a burial ground on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, it was destroyed about the turn of the century. A local farmer described finding a number of features which sounded like 'cists' in his farmyard nearby. The site is located on very good land sloping slightly to the N and E, giving excellent views along the Foyle valley. 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).
