Cist in Ardnamoghill

There is no sign of the ruined 'Fort' (DG055-013001-) marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was situated on a level shoulder of good land. Some time ago a rectangular stone-lined pit 3ft × 2ft 6in and 1ft 6in deep, covered by a capstone, was discovered while ploughing. It contained nothing beyond 'A different colour soil in the bottom'. The capstone was replaced. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
