What is recorded here

Two cists were found in a field here. There are no contents recorded from the first cist found c. 1895 (JRSAI 1896, 382). The second cist was .64m E-W × 0.48m. It had a slab floor and contained a bowl foodvessel, a flint flake, a thumb-scraper and some quartz chips (JRSAI 1958, 145). 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
