What is recorded here
Marked as the site of an 'abbey' on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch map. No trace survives. Nearby to the NW is a 'holy well' (DG073-042002-) which consists of a circular, drystone-lined spring. A penannular mortared wall has been built around it above ground level. The site is located just SE of the coast on good grassland.
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.
