What is recorded here
Mortgage arithmetic is clear. The claim is not. There is no visible Rock art in Castlebane (castlewray Ed). There is a subcircular area, an overgrown broken wall and one north boulder marked with seven cupmarks. That is all the evidence given. The rest is invention.
A subcircular area (DG053-015-) enclosed by a much overgrown and partially destroyed stone wall. On the N side a boulder which forms part of the wall is decorated with 7 cupmarks.
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).
