According to Kinahan (1889, 282), the remains of 'a doubled-chambered fosleac, constructed of large squarish blocks' stood here. Kinahan (1889, 277) applied the term 'fosleac' to structures constructed of flags or long blocks of stone. This feature is not shown on OS 6-inch maps, but Kinahan marked its position on his field maps, now in the Geological Survey Office, Dublin. There is now no trace of it. Land reclamation at the site may have accounted for it. The nature of this feature is not known. Kinahan 1889, 282; Killanin and Duignan 1962, 373; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 374; SMR 1987, 36:24; RMP 1995, 36:24. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
