An overgrown and disused graveyard (DG070-044001-) which contains a certain amount of masonry rubble, probably from the 'Church (site of)' (DG070-044) marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. No discernible features of a structure were observed. It has been suggested by several authors that this is the site of a short-lived Cistercian foundation c. 1194 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 138). It seems definite, however, that no major monastic buildings were ever erected here. It is situated in good arable land on the banks of the river Deel. 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).
