In August, 1982, a souterrain was discovered here and investigated by the staff of the OPW. The souterrain consisted of two chambers at right angles to one another and connected by a creepway. Chamber I running roughly N-S was 4.3m long × c. 1m wide × c. 1.4m maximum height. A creepway, c. 1.4m long × 0.47m wide and c. O.5m high, led from the SW corner of chamber I into the second chamber. Chamber II was 3m long and from .4m to 1m in width. It ran in a rough E-W direction. A fragment of a quernstone was found wedged in the wall near the W end of the W chamber. The souterrain came to light in the course of construction work at a modern graveyard (without any ancient associations) and was considerably disturbed.
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.
