What is recorded here

A 'barrow' levelled here in 1854 is said to have contained an 'urn and kistvaen' (Kinahan 1889, 286). The site today consists of a flat-topped rise, approximately circular, c. 22m across. It is c. 1m high. A slab 1.51m × 1.05m on top is thought to be part of the 'kistvaen'. 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
