What is recorded here

The 'Holy Well' here consists of a natural spring covered by a slab. Just to the S is a mound of small stones known as the 'friar's grave' (DG038-002001-). Crosses have been formed on the hillside with small stones. It is situated in the N-S gap between Mouldy and Gollan Hills. There is a hilltop enclosure (DG038-001001-) on the ridge top immediately to SW. The above description was published in 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).
