Field boundary in Cashel (gleneely Ed)

Field boundary

What is recorded here

Gleneely’s edge may hide a lost court tomb beneath an ordinary fence. The survey names a megalithic chamber, yet no clear trace remains for a searcher to point at. What is certain is that large stones still stand there, marking a boundary and refusing to explain themselves.
According to the SMR for County Donegal (1987), there is a possible megalithic tomb at this location. The RMP for County Donegal (1995) identifies it as a court tomb. A search failed to reveal any trace of a megalithic tomb. Some large stones at this spot seem to form part of an old fence. SMR 1987, 11:25; RMP 1995, 11:25. 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).
