What is recorded here

Kinahan (1885-6, 428) records that 'somewhere to N or NE' of the Man-made underground passage (1462) 'there is said to be a stone, having a number of flint chips buried by its side; the exact place, however, could not be ascertained.' No trace of this could be found. 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG062-002
