What is recorded here

The 'Old Graveyard' or 'Burial Ground' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps survives as a wedge-shaped, stone-walled enclosure. There is no evidence of its former use. It is located on fairly good pasture on a slope S of the shore of Loughros Beg Bay. 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.'

Wedge tomb; likely dates to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its survival as a stone-walled enclosure offers insight into early funerary practices in the region.
