What is recorded here
A disused burial ground (DG014-001002-) and church (DG014-001001-) in ruins are marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was not possible to visit the site during the course of the survey. The site is associated with St. Duach according to local tradition. A previous description of the site recorded the church as being 15 ft by 10 ft with a doorway on the S side 5 ft high, 2 ft wide at the bottom but tapering inwards towards the top. (UJA 1858, 353)
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.
