A pit, 22in deep, the bottom lined with small stones and covered by a slab, 20in × 13in, contained a cordoned urn. The urn contained the remains of two adults and a child. It was situated near the top of cultivation on the SW slope of Bogay Hill. (Ó Ríordáin 1935,171-3). 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
