What is recorded here

Colhoun (1995) suggested that this may be the site of a 'Giant's Grave'. However, the indications are that a substantial mound of earth and some large stones at this spot are derived from land-clearance activities that took place sometime before 1943, when Colhoun visited the site. The standing stone shown here on the OS 6-inch map cannot now be identified with certainty. Lacy 1983, 88, no. 499; SMR 1987, 11:39; Colhoun 1995, 32, no. 11/13; RMP 1995, 11: 39. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
