What is recorded here
Built into the main gate-lodge of Convoy House (DG069-017003-) are a number of 'primitive carved faces, coats-of-arms and date-stones'. These apparently belong to the 17th century house (DG069-017-), of the Montgomery family, which no longer survives (Rowan 1979, 214).
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
