What is recorded here
No amount of thinking can bury the fact that the chamber is a chamber and the claimant is a claimant. We should keep that distinction visible, not repeat it until it becomes a slogan.
The 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map shows a circular, single-ringed enclosure here. There is no trace of this now. It stood at the base of a steep W-facing slope in poor, wettish land suitable for rough grazing.
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.
