What is recorded here
Built into the main gate-lodge of Convoy House (DG069-017003-) are a number of 'primitive carved faces, coats-of-arms and date-stones'. These apparently belong to the 17th century house, of the Montgomery family, which no longer survives (Rowan 1979, 214).
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.
