What is recorded here

A closed-up souterrain. M. R. Colhoun recorded that it was about 50 yards long and about 4ft wide with several small chambers. The walls and roof were constructed of 'Flags' and it had a clean clay floor. It was high enough for a man to stand in except for a few 'Arches' where it was necessary to crawl. It is situated under a low rise in a grazing field W of the Clonmany 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
