What is recorded here

It is described in an accompanying Name Book as follows: 'The site of an old grave roughly formed with large stones but now removed from the spot where they stood'. There is no trace of any remains here now. The nature of the supposed grave must remain uncertain. OS Revision Name Book, sheet 74 (1848-50), 6. 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).
