What is recorded here

About midway along the W wall of the graveyard (DG006-002001-) is a stone-built altar on which are arranged a number of stone items. The most important of these is a cross-slab the back of which is cemented to the graveyard wall. It is 1.35m x .045m. The top is damaged and the slab was split and rejoined along the middle. 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 this instance the entry (no. 1620) has been revised and updated. Revised by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 13 March 2013
