- SL002-001 Promontory fort - coastal
Description
Not marked as an antiquity on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Approx. triangular-shaped (max. dims. 33.5m x 23m), N-facing promontory defined by high, steep cliffs except on the landward (NE) side where it is defended by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 3m; H 0.3m) with an external fosse (Wth. 3m; D 0.5m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth. 3m; H 0.5m). A modern stone wall divides the enclosed area from the banks and fosse. The OS Letters (1837, 174) record that this monument was called 'Dún Balra'. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 07 February 2013

- SL002-059001 Midden
Description
In an expanse of undulating grass-covered sand dunes which lie to W of Bunduff Strand, 300m S of Mullaghmore village. Bunduff Lough is 1km to SE. The midden is located on a gentle E-facing slope on the W side of a roughly oval, wind-eroded hollow (c. 30-35m N−S; c. 25m E−W) enclosed by higher ridges of sand. It is evident as a concentration (c. 6m N−S; c. 4m E−W) of sea shells exposed on the eroding sand surface. The midden has no depth, consisting merely of a thin surface spread, becoming increasingly thin and diffuse towards its outer limits. A higher density of shells occurs roughly in the centre of the spread, covering an area of c. 2m N−S by 2m E−W, and here the shells are mingled with a dark coloured soil and charcoal fragments. A few small stones, some with a heat-shattered appearance, protrude from amongst the shells. Periwinkles are the most numerous shell type, followed by limpets. Lesser quantities of mussels and scallops are evident. The majority of periwinkles and many limpets survive intact; all the mussels are fragmentary. Overall there is a high frequency of fragmentary shells. Occasional small fragments of bone (L 2-4 cm) are visible amongst the shells; these are too fragmentary to allow identification, but at least one piece appears to have some from a cow-sized animal, and a single sheep tooth was noted. There is another midden (SL002-059002-) 20m to E on the E side of the same dune hollow. Notified to NMS by Aoife Heguarty Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 18 December 2020

The midden is located on the E side of a roughly oval, wind-eroded hollow (c. 30-35m N−S; c. 25m E−W) enclosed by higher ridges of sand. It is evident as a thin surface scatter (c. 7m N−S; c. 5m E−W) of sea shells exposed on the eroding sand surface. A slightly higher density of shells covers an area of c. 1m N−S by c. 1.5m E−W in the N half of the spread, where a small deposit of dark coloured soil is mingled with the shells, and there are occasional tiny charcoal fragments. Limpets and periwinkles are the most numerous shell type; scallop shells are also present. Many periwinkles shells survive intact, but the majority of shells are in a highly fragmented state. There are occasional small fragments of bone (L 2-4 cm), too fragmentary to allow identification, and a single sheep tooth was noted. A small cluster of large limpets was evident on the slope c. 1m to E and upslope from the main body of the midden. Towards the S limits of the midden a single large rectangular block of sandstone (L 0.35m; Wth 0.15m; H 0.18m) rests on the sand surface. One end is broken. There is a reddish stain/colour on one side which may be heat-induced. There is another midden (SL002-059001-) 20m to W on the W slope of the same dune hollow.

- SL002-062 Signal tower
Description
Situated close to the base of a moderate slope that runs down to the coast c. 18m to the W (11m OD). The ground slopes down to the NW and rises to the SE. The surrounding area consists of enclosed pasture defined by low stone walls. An area of lazy beds is located to the N of the signal tower, and clearly predates the field walls and the enclosed pasture. The site has unobstructed views to the N and W, but the views to the S and E are blocked by the rising ground. The adjacent signal towers, Streedagh Signal Tower (SL005-201----), located c. 8.25kms to the SW, and John’s Point Signal Station (DG097A020----), located c. 11.3kms, to the N are both now very low ruins, and can no longer be seen from this site at Kllcologue Point. An eroded promontory fort (SL002-001----) is located approximately 20m N of the signal tower. Former World War Two-era lookout post located c. 680m to the ENE in an elevated site atop a low rocky outcrop. Killcologue Point Signal Tower has been demolished. The position of the signal tower is marked by a large roughly square-shaped nettle-filled hollow that is surrounded by a low grassy bank (ext. dims. 12.5m NW-SE x11m NE-SW). The hollow (int. dims s 4.8m NW-SE x 4.4m NE-SW) represents the ‘cut’ into which the semi-basement level of the signal tower would have been built. Assuming that the alignment of the signal tower was reflected in the alignment of the hollow, then the corners of the signal tower would have been pointed in the cardinal directions with the walls facing NW, NE, SE and SW. A shallow sunken grassed-over lane leads from the NW side of the demolished tower site to the coast. The lack of rubble at the site suggests that the masonry of the signal tower was removed for use elsewhere. The signal tower appears to have been demolished at an early date as it is not clearly depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area (c. 1837). Approximately 6.9m to the NW of the signal tower and to the S of the sunken lane there is a small oval depression (ext. dims. 4m NW-SE x 3.7m NE-SW) that is possibly the remains of a small lime kiln used in the construction of the signal tower. The signal tower was part of a system of over 80 signal stations constructed by the British Board of Ordnance in the first decade of the 19th century to warn of the approach of a French invasion fleet. Signalling between sites was accomplished using a naval signal post. The system formed a continuous chain from Dublin Bay running clockwise all the way around the coast to Malin Head in County Donegal. It was abandoned by the mid-1810s when the threat of a French invasion diminished (Kerrigan 1995, 157-66).
