What is recorded here

As part of the Donegal Main Drainage scheme the possible pier belonging to a medieval or post medieval bridge was recorded at the foot of Donegal Castle (DG093-013001-) under excavation licence no. 02E0851. The pier of this bridge consists of cut blocks of limestone, at one time bonded by mortar. The mortar has mostly disintegrated and the entire structure has been badly damaged by tree root action, leaving it in a very precarious and unstable state (Read, C. 2002, 4). Information taken from unpublished excavation report, Read, C. 2002, 'Progress Report 1 for the Archaeological Monitoring of the Donegal Main Drainage Scheme'.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
