Mound in Machaire Dromann (tc Fánaid Thuaidh)

A subcircular area (DG011-051001-) enclosed by the much robbed remains of a stone wall which survives to a height of c. 0.7m. There is a mound in the centre which is difficult to interpret as being either natural or artificial. It is situated on a rock outcrop in marshy land 20m S of a river. 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).

A possible Neolithic or early Bronze Age burial mound, potentially associated with a ringed enclosure; its significance lies in its possible role as a ritual or funerary site, though its exact function and date remain uncertain due to poor preservation.
