What is recorded here

Described as the 'Corpse Field' on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This would suggest its use as a burial ground. There are no features in the field now, other than a small grassed-over mound. It is located in an area of fair pasture to the E of Kiltooris Lough. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG064-017
