In the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, middens, containing shells and animal bones, were noted at two locations in the sand dunes of Horn head (PRIA 1901, vol. 6, series 3, 349). One location, possibly in Pollaguill townland, was described as ‘over the hill, and about a mile from Dunfanaghy’ at a spot, close to a stream, where hut sites (DG015-003002-) were also found. Middens were also found closer to Dunfanaghy, possibly in Lurgabrack townland, ‘near the bridge crossing over from the mainland to Horn Head.’ The exact location of the middens remains unknown.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
