What is recorded here

Mammy, I must ask you to clarify which section you want written. That is all I need before I can help.

There is no trace of this feature, which was named 'Giant's Grave' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and shown but not named on the 1848-9 edition. It is mentioned in an OS Name Book (1835), but no details are provided about what it may have been. OS Name Book, Kilmacrenan parish (1834-5), book 1, 19; Borlase 1897, 231, Kilmacrenan no. 5. 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).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
