Recorded monuments

• TS081-030001 Church
  Description

  On the summit of a natural ridge (running E-W) which slopes slightly to S, in gently rolling pastureland. According to Power (1908, 73) a holy well (TS081-030002-), no longer visible, was situated close to the church. The church is mentioned by Power (ibid.) as being situated 'in a field adjoining the road on its western side'. The landowners were aware of the tradition of a church at this location. The church is described as 'site of' on the 1st ed OS 6-inch map, with a small circular area outlined by a dashed line. There is no visible trace of this church above ground level.

• TS081-030002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On the summit of an natural ridge (running E-W) which slopes slightly to S, in gently rolling pastureland. This holy well is referred to as being 'Close to a church site' (TS081-030001-) and as being dried up, 'the patron is presumably Cuaran the Wise given in the Martyrology of Donegal under February 9th' (Power 1908, 73). There is no visible trace of this well above ground. The precise location of the well is unknown, however, based on Power's reference it has been given the same ITM co-ordinates as the church.

• TS081-074 Earthwork
  Description

  In improved pasture on a WSW-facing slope. An oblong mound (dims. 54m WNW-ESE; 24m NNE-SSW) of natural rock outcrop, defined by substantial scarp (Wth 9.5m; H 2.35m) S-W-NNW and reduced to lower scarp (Wth 4m; H 0.5m) NNW-E-S. The monument is best preserved to WNW-half and poorly preserved and partially quarried at ESE-end. Rock protruds from the mound and the surface is uneven where cattle have worn paths in between the natural seams. There is an exposed rock face at NW. There are mature thorn trees across the top of the mound and around the edges. According to local information this is known as a 'fairy fort'. Though largely natural the mound may have been modified or utilised as a habitation site. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
