Kilmacanny Graveyard (DG065-011001-) consists of a subcircular mound (DG065-011002-) 17m in diameter and up to 2m in height. The mound undulates unevenly and its edge is difficult to determine in some places. There are a number of featureless grave-markers on the mound. One slab (DG065-011003-) on the W side of the mound has a small oval perforation (6.5cms × 4cms). In a ditch along a field boundary to the SE of the mound is a small cross-slab (DG065-011004-) 1.6m × 0.3m at the arms. On one face is a simple cross in relief at the centre of a broad cross-shaped groove. The site is located in a low-lying field with a wooded area to the S and W. To the E is pasture land and to the N the sea. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG065-011002
